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 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 Everyone knows That I?m just Secondhand Rose From second avenue Fom second avenue?nue
