Put ’em in a Box, Tie ’em With a Ribbon (and Throw ’em Into the Deep Blue Sea) Songtext
von Doris Day

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 lovers 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

Hansoms 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 Mr. 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
