SECOND HAND ROSE

Barbra Streisand



Father has a business strictly second hand

Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand

Stuff in our apartment came from father's store

Even clothes 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

Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar

Second hand pearls

I'm wearing second hand curls

I never get a single think that's new

Even Jake, the plumber, he's a man I adore

He 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!
