[Verse 1]
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
Oh, no, they can't take that away from me

[Verse 2]
(The way your smile just beams)
Oh, the way you sing off-key
The way you haunt my dreams
Oh, no, they can't take that away from me

[Chorus]
We may never, ever meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep
The memory of

[Verse 3]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
Hey, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

Oh, yeah
[Skat singing]

[Chorus]
We may never, ever meet again
On that bumpy, lumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep
The memory of

[Verse 3]
(The way you hold your knife)
And I loved the way we danced till three
(The way you changed my life)
Hey no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away (can't take it)
They can't take that away (take away baby)
Oh no, they can't take that away
Mmmm, hey no, they never ever take it away, baby
You know, they can't take that away from me
