Second hand rose
Barbra Streisand
Father had a bus’ness strictly second hand Ev’ry thing from toothpicks to a baby grand; Stuff in our apartment came from Father’s store - Even things I’m wearing someone wore before. B+ B+ It’s no wonder that I feel abused; I never have a thing that ain’t been used. I’m wear - ing sec - ond hand hats sec - ond hand clothes cdim That’s why they call me Sec - ond Hand Rose. Even our pi - an - o in the par - lor Father bought for ten cents on the dol - lar. Sec - ond hand pearls I’m wearing sec - ond hand curls. I never get a single thing that’s new. Even Jake the plumber he’s the man I a - dore Had the nerve to tell me he’s been mar - ried be - fore. Ev’ - ry - one knows that I’m just Sec - ond Hand Rose From Sec - ond Av - e - nue. I’m wear - ing sec - ond hand shoes sec - ond hand hose cdim All the girls hand me their sec - ond hand beaux. Even my pa - ja - mas when I don ’em Have some - bod - y el - se’s ’ni - tials on ’em. Sec - ond hand rings I’m sick of sec - ond hand things I nev - er get what oth - er girl - ies do. Once while strol - ling through the Ritz a girl got my coat; She nudged her friend and said "Oh look there’s my old fur coat!" Ev’ - ry - one knows that I’m just Sec - ond Hand Rose From Sec - ond Av - e - nue From Sec - ond Av - e - nue
