Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think

That I was one of those girls ?
Take back the gown
The gloves 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
Now 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 sleaves
For somebody else.

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
Now 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 alter and rise it
For some other dame.
