TAKE BACK YOUR MINK

A=Adelaide
G=Grls
AG=Adelaide and Girls

A: He bought me the fur thing five winters ago,
and the gown the following fall.
Then the necklace, the bag, the shoes, and the hat,
that was last Christmas Eve, 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 as flat as all that.
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
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 Hollanderize it, for some other dame!
G: 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, the shoes and the hat,
I may be down, but I'm not as flat as all that.
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
was a token of your esteem,
now when I think of what you want in exchange,
it all seems a horrible dream, EEK!
so...take back your mink, to from whence it came,
and tell them to shorten the sleeves it, for somebody else!
(Instrumental) (They run back to pick up clothes)
AG: WELL! WOULDN'T YOU!?!
