Текст песни Second Hand Rose, Barbra Streisand

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!
