Second hand rose
Second hand rose.
Father has a buisness
strictly second hand
everything from tooth sticks
to our babies crad.
Stuff in our appartment
came from father's store
even clothes I'm wearing
someone worn 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 gloves
that's why they call me
second hand rose.
Even our pianah in the fohla
daddy bought from ten cents from
the dollar.
Second hand pearls,
I'm wearing, second hand curls.
I never get a single thing that's new.
Even Jake the plumber he's the men I adore.
He had the knife to tell me
he's been married before.
Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand rose
From second avenue
From second avenue... new??
