Barbra Streisand - "Second Hand Rose" Lyrics

Barbra Streisand

My Name Is Barbra Two

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!
