Lyrics
[Part I: Second Hand Rose] [Intro: Barbra Streisand] Where's Mother? Mother, Mother Come sing a song for us, Mother No, come on [Verse: Diana Kind] Father has a business Strictly second-hand Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand Stuff in our apartment Came from Father's store Even things I'm wearing, someone wore before It's no wonder that I feel abused I never have a thing that ain't been used [Chorus: Barbra Streisand] I'm wearing second hand shoes Second hand hose All the girls hand me Their second hand beaus Even my pajamas when I darn 'em Havе somebody else's initials on 'еm Second hand rings Mmm, second hand things I never get what other girlies do Once while strolling through the Ritz A girl got my goat She nudged her friend and said "Oh, look, there goes my old fur coat" [Part II: Give Me the Simple Life] [Verse 1] I don't believe in settin' and grievin' Why mess around with strife? I never was cut out to step and strut out Give me the simple life [Verse 2] Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off my comb Just serve me tomatoes And mashed potatoes Any place I hang my hat is home [Part III: Nobody Know You When You're Down and Out] [Chorus] Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And your friends, well, you haven't any Soon as you get on your feet again Everybody, everybody is your long lost friend It's mighty strange, without a doubt But nobody knows you when you're down and out [Part IV: Second Hand Rose (Reprise)] [Chorus] Oh, everyone knows That I'm just second hand Rose From Second Avenue You can't beat the egg creams From Second Avenue There's more between me and Fifth Avenue than three blocks, I'll tell ya Second Avenue [Part V: The Best Things in Life Are Free] [Verse] The flowers in spring The robins that sing The sunbeams that shine They're yours, they're mine And love can come to anyone Because the best things in life are free
