Put 'Em In a Box, Tie 'Em With a Ribbon (And Throw 'Em In the Deep Blue Sea)
You can take the moon, gather up the stars
And the robin that sings merrily
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
And 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 'em with a ribbon
And 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
And throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I, we don't agree
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep in your ice box
You know what to do with that "tea for two"
And "the boy for you, the girl for me"
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
And throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Hansoms through the park, kisses in the dark
All the promises made faithfully
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
And throw 'em in the deep blue sea
