No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Can't understand why you keep holding on
Just 'coz you can't take it with you
No you can't take it with you
Yes you can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
I see you pride yourself in your new car
Chatting on your compact Nokia
And you love your expensive clothes
But you can't take it with you when you go
When you go
No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Ain't no point in trying to hold on
Just 'coz you can't take it
Oh you can't take it
You can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
No you can't take your big-screen TV
Nor your variety of DVDs
No you can't take your designer-shoes
Everything you have you're gonna' lose
No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Can't understand why you keep holding on
Just 'coz you can't take it with you
No you can't take it with you
Yes you can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
'Coz there's one thing that matters
When you're walking down that street
Is the good and bad that you sent forth
In your Book of Deeds
So make sure that you're ready
To receive it in your right hand
And take your place among
The righteous of man
No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Ain't no point in trying to hold on
'Coz you can't take it with you
No you can't take it with you
Yes you can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
No you can't take it with you when you go
Yes you can't take it with you when you go
Ain't no point in trying to hold on
'Coz you can't take it
Oh you can't take it
You can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
You plan to be richer, you stash to be bigger
But man get the picture, you can't take it with ya'
Your cell-phones, head-phones, flat-screens, ringtones
Big homes, gemstones, power from big loans
Collections of new shoes, connections of Bluetooth
Vacations where you cruise, the young ones go 'ooh!'
You go shop for robots or gold watch and what not
Your CDs of hip-hop, your laptops...
Just stop! and let go
When you die say bye-bye, what is best is inside
Fill the scale up with deeds, so you're best when you part
Put the wealth in your hand, take it out of your heart
Give thanks for the wealth that your Lord will bestow
But no! That you can't take it with you when you go
No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Can't understand why you keep holding on
Just 'coz you can't take
Oh you can't take
You can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
No you can't take it with you when you go
Oh no you can't take it with you when you go
Ain't no point in trying to hold on
Just 'coz you can't take it
Oh you can't take it
You can't take it with you when you go
Oh when you go
