Thank you, thank you
And now, the feature attraction
Of our all new Four-D Follies
The Hot Box proudly presents
Miss Adelaide and her Debutantes
He bought me the fur thing five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
Then the necklace, the bag, the hat, and the shoes
Oh, what generous gifts 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 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
Now 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 shorten the sleeves
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 saying, "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 (Ah!)
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else"
Well?
Wouldn't you?
