You Can't Have Everything (Where Would You Put It?)

You could have a Black Mercedes Benz
Or a car of every model
A posh house in Beverly Hills
Or a mansion in every province
A hundred foot Giira yacht
Or a fleet of water craft
How about buying Tibet?
And ruling your very own caste

If money was no object
You could have all you wanted

But you Can't Have Everything
If you ever had it all
Any house would be too small
You Can't Have Everything
How could you enjoy so much
There would be too much to touch
No, you Can't Have Everything
If you did, Where Would You Put It?

You could take a Skiing Trip to France
Or a constant long vacation
You won't need to follow finance
For the banks are below your station
A job's a bad thought to think
You are free and clear indeed
How about winning a mint?
By beating the poker elite

If money was no object
You could have all you wanted
But you Can't Have Everything
If you ever had it all
Any house would be too small
You Can't Have Everything
How could you enjoy so much
There would be too much to touch
No, you Can't Have Everything
If you did, Where Would You Put It?
