Letra de Second hand rose

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!
