Thursday’s Child: If I Can’t Take It With Me When I Go - Eartha Kitt

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I just ain’t gonna go

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I ain’t leavin', I know

I’ve got minks and sables and diamonds and pearls

The things that men give to sweet little girls

I’ve kissed a little, and sometimes a lot

It took lots of kissin' to get what I’ve got

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I just ain’t gonna go

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I ain’t leavin', I know

Love’s a luxury, but it makes men relax

And naturally there’s a luxury tax

It don’t take billions to get me to care

I’ve even been nice to a poor millionaire

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I just ain’t gonna go

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I ain’t leavin', I know

Pictures of Presidents give me a thrill

Especially on a thousand dollar bill

This legal tender brings me so much bliss

It’s nice to be tender when it’s legal like this

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I just ain’t gonna go

If I can’t take it with me when I go

I ain’t leavin', I know

I just ain’t gonna go

I just ain’t gonna go
