| You can take the moon, gather up the stars
|
| And the robins that sing merrily
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| You can take the flowers, down in lovers lane
|
| And that sentimental poetry
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie I’em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| Not for me, all that stuff
|
| The dreams that ruin your sleep
|
| Not for me, had enough
|
| Love is one thing you can keep
|
| You can take the plans and the wedding bells
|
| And whoever sings, «Oh, promise me»
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie I’em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| 'Cause love and I we don’t agree
|
| Hansoms through the park, kisses in the dark
|
| All the promises made faithfully
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| And you won’t go wrong if you take a song
|
| Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| Not for me, all that stuff
|
| The dreams that ruin your sleep
|
| Not for me, had enough
|
| Love is one thing you can keep
|
| You know what to do with good old «Tea for two»
|
| And the girl for you, the boy for me
|
| Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
|
| Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
|
| 'Cause love and I we don’t agree |
