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 they call me
|
Second hand Rose
|
|
Even our piano in the parlor
|
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
|
Second hand pearls
|
I'm sick of second hand curls
|
I never get a single think that's new
|
Even Jake, the plumber, he's a man I adore
|
Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!
|
|
Everyone knows that I'm just
|
Second hand Rose
|
From second Avenue!
|
From Second Avenue! Nu!
|
|
One more time!
|
Everyone knows that I'm just
|
Second hand Rose
|
(From second Avenue!)
|
From what?
|
Let's see if you know the fills!
|
Once while strooling
|
Through the Ritz a girl got my goat...
|
(She nudged her friend
|
And said oh look there goes
|
My old fur coat)
|
You don't need me!
|
|
Everyone knows that I'm just
|
Second hand Rose
|
From Second Avenue!
|
(Ya can't beat the egg-creams!)
|
Good! Second Avenue!
|
(There is more between me
|
And Fifth Avenue, I tell ya)
|
Right! Second Avenue!
