Take Back Your Mink

And now for the feature number of the evening

The Hot Box proudly presents

Miss Adelaide and her debutantes

He bought me the fur mink five winters ago

And the gown the following fall

Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat

That was late '48 I recall

Then last night in his apartment

He tried to remove them all

And I said as I ran down the hall

Take back your mink

Take back your pearls

What made you think

That I was one of those girls?

Take back the gown

The shoes and the hat

I may be down

But I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged

Was a token of your esteem

But when I think of what you want in exchange

It all seems a horrible dream

So take back your mink

To from whence it came

And tell them to Hollanderize

For some other dame

Take back your mink

Take back your pearls

What made you think

That I was one of those girls?

I'm screaming

Take back the gown

Take back the hat

I may be down

But I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged

Was a token of your esteem

But when I think of what you want in exchange

It all seems a horrible dream

Take back your mink

Those old worn out pelts

And go shorten the sleeves

For somebody else

Come on

Take back your mink

Take back your mink, oh, oh

Take back your pearls

I'm trying to tell ya

What made you think

What made you think that

That I was one of those girls?

I'm screaming

Take back the gown

Take back the gown

Take back the hat

I don't even like it

I may be down

I may be down

But I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged

Was a token of your esteem

But when I think of what you want in exchange

It all seems a horrible dream (A horrible dream)

Take back your mink

Those old worn out pelts

And go shorten the sleeves

For somebody else (Take back your mink)

For somebody else (Take back your mink)

For somebody else

Take back your mink
