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 lover’s lane
and
that sentimental poetry
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
can take the plans and the wedding bells
and
whoever sings Oh Promise 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
Handstrolls
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 mister C
put
‘em in a box, tie ‘em with a ribbon
throw
‘em in the deep blue sea
Not
for me, all that stuff
Not
for me, had enough
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
