Entr'acte / Take Back Your Mink
And now, for the feature number of the evening
The Hotpot proudly presents
Miss Adelaide and her debutantes
He bought me the fur mink five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat
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
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
Take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
But 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 alter and rise it
For some other dame
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
Take back the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
But when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream
Eek!
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else
Well, wouldn't you?
