Take Back Your Mink

Lyrics

[Intro] He gave me the fur thing five winters ago And the gown the following fall And then the bracelet, the bag, the hat, and the shoes 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 [Verse 1] Oh, take back your mink Take back your pearls What made you think That I was one of those girls? [Verse 2] Take back the gown The shoes and the hat I may be down But I'm not flat as all that [Bridge] I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrangеd Was a token of your esteem Now when I think of what you want in еxchange It all seems a horrible dream [Verse 3] So take back your mink To from whence it came And tell 'em to Hollanderize it For some other dame [Verse 1] Take back your mink Take back your pearls What made you think That I was one of those girls? I'm screaming [Verse 2] Now take back the gown The gloves and the hat Now I, I may be down But I'm not flat as all that [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4] Take back your mink Those old worn out pelts And go shorten the sleeves For somebody else
