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
And throw 'em in the deep blue sea.
You can take the flow'rs down in lovers lane
And that sentimental poetry,
Put 'em in a box, tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea.
Bridge:
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 it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree.
Instrumental Interlude 1 Verse
Hansons through the park, kisses in the dark,
All the promises made faithfully,
Put 'em in a box, tie it 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 it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea.

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 it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea,
'Cause love and I we don't agree.
