Second Hand Rose

Daddy has a business,simply secondhand

Anything from toothpicks to a baby pram

Stuff in our apartment, came from father's store

Even clothes i'm wearing,someone wore before

I'ts no wonder that i feel abused I never get a

thing that ain't been used.



Secondhand pearls I'm wearing secondhand clothes

That's why they call me secondhand Rose

Even our piana in the parlour, Daddy bought for ten cents

of a dollar

Second hand pearls, i'm wearing secondhand clothes,

I never get a single thing that's new



Even Jake the plumber he's the man I adore he had the nerve ,

To tell me he's been married before

Secondhand clothes oh I'm just secondhand Rose

On second avenue(x2)
