Take Back Your Mink
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
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 arranged 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 you mink to from whence it came
And tell them to alter and rise it
For some other dame

ALL 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
The gloves and the hat
I may be down but I'm not flat as all that

I thought that each expensive gift you 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
