Second Hand Rose

歌詞

Father has a business Strictly second-hand Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand Stuff in our apartment Came from Father's store Even things I'm wearing, someone wore before It's no wonder that I feel abused I never get a thing that ain't been used! I'm wearing second-hand hats Second-hand clothes That's why the call me Second-Hand Rose Even our piano in the parlor Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar Second-hand pearls I'm wearing second-hand curls I never get a single thing that's new Even Jake the Plumber, he's the man I adore He had the nerve to tell me he'd been married before Everyone knows that I'm just Second-Hand Rose From Second Avenue I'm wearing second-hand shoes Second-hand hose All the girls hand me their second-hand beaus Even my pajamas, when I don them Have somebody else's 'nitials on them Second-hand rings, I'm sick of second-hand things I never get what other girlies do Once while strolling through the Ritz, a girl got my goat She nudged her friend and said, "Oh, look, there goes my old fur coat!" Everyone knows that I'm just Second-Hand Rose From Second Avenue
