Take Back Your Mink

Lyrics

[GOOD TIME CHARLEY BERNSTEIN, spoken] And now for the feature number of the evening The Hot Box proudly presents Miss Adelaide and her Debutantes [ADELAIDE] He bought me the fur thing five winters ago And the gown the following fall Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat Ooh, 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, ooh "Take back your mink Take back your pеarls What made you think That I was one of those girls? Takе 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 arrange 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 it For some other dame" [ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS] "Take back your mink Take back your pearls What made you think That I was one of those girls?" I'm screamin' "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 arrange 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" [Dance break.] [ADELAIDE, spoken] Come on [HOT BOX GIRLS & ADELAIDE] Take back your mink (Take back your mink) Take back your pearls (I'm [?]) What made you think (What made you think that) That I was one of those girls? (I'm screamin') 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) [ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS] But I'm not flat as all that I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange Was a token of your esteem But when I think of what you want in exchange [ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS] It all seems a horrible dream (A horrible dream) [ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS] Take back your mink Those old worn out pelts And go shorten the sleeves [ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS] For somebody else (Take back your mink) For somebody else (Take back your mink) For somebody else (Somebody else) [ADELAIDE] Take back your mink!
