Second Hand Rose (From "Ziegfeld Follies of 1921") |
| 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 |
| Father 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 Jakie Cohen, he’s the man I adore |
| 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 woman got my goat |
| She nudged her friend and said, «Oh, look, there goes my last year’s coat!» |
| Everyone knows that I’m just Second Hand Rose |
| From Second Avenue |
