Second-Hand Suit

Lyrics

[MYRTLE] When my husband George proposed to me I couldn't help but panic Never in my wildest fantasy Did I marry a mechanic But Georgie said, "We'll strike it rich, you'll see For I am what you call an up-and-comer" And so I gave the boy a chance, prayed he would advance At least he's not a plumber When I saw him walking down the aisle He actually looked cute I couldn't help but crack a smile He had bought himself a suit I let him put a ring on me, and gee He looked so handsome in his bib and tucker I promised him fidelity for еternity And boy was I a sucker It was a second-hand suit, ha Hе had to borrow a suit for our wedding day His dreams were all a mirage And now I live above a garage I met Mr. Buchanan on a train He looked just like a lion [TOM] Roar [MYRTLE] Sittin' at the top of the food chain I tell you, sparks were flyin' From the minute that we met [TOM & MYRTLE] Kismet We both knew that it was now or never [MYRTLE] On the way to the hotel, all I thought was "Hell, you can't live forever" It's bad enough that I was born To live among the lowest on the ladder I married up and never left the bottom rung But now it doesn't matter You make a vow to stick through thick and thin And then you learn the vow's a bunch of twaddle If you hate the wreck you're in, screw the thick and thin And look for a new motto [ENSEMBLE] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! [MYRTLE] Ooh! [ENSEMBLE] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! [MYRTLE] I'm done with second-hand suits [ENSEMBLE] Oh-oh-oh Ah! [MYRTLE] I'm done with second-hand suits on a wedding day [ENSEMBLE] She won't settle [MYRTLE] No more settling for less I'll live a life of dressing [MYRTLE & ENSEMBLE] To impress [MYRTLE] Oh, time for life at The Ritz Tell George I'm calling it quits I've finally found, woo Something that fits [ENSEMBLE] Doo, doo-doo Doo-doo Doo-doo, doo-do-do Doo, doo-do-do Doo-doo [MYRTLE] Oh, something that fits
