Can't Take it With You
By Ann Trabucco
Verse 1
You can stack your pennies, you can stash a dime, But you oughta treat yourself before you’re outta time. Crack open that piggy bank for all it’s worth, ’cause you can’t take it with you when you leave this earth!
Verse 2
There ain’t no money in that Heaven land, no fast track fortunes, no contraband. Spend it while you’re here, enjoy what you’ve earned, ’cause you can’t take it with you when the tide has turned.
Verse 3
Eternity don’t have no fancy stores or bank, No Paris flights where you can spend your francs. No shiny dealerships for that pickup truck, and no bright lit casinos to go press your luck.
Chorus
The almighty dollar’s worth ain’t guaranteed, spend what you like, but hang on to what you need. There’ll come a day when your money’s just ghosts, should’ve used that stash when you needed it most!
Outro
No moving vans for your precious possessions, no slick painted cars to flex your impressions. When the clock runs out and the ledger’s closed, all that’s comin’ with you is the life you chose!
Tag Line
Life is a gamble, life can be fun,
But when push comes to shove, can’t take the money and run!
