second hand rose - james f. hanley lyrics
(verse)
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
(chorus 1)
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
(chorus 2)
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
