Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand

Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even clothes I'm wearing someone wore before

It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used

I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand Rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar

Second hand pearls
I'm wearing second hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new

Even Jake, the plumber, he's the man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!

Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand Rose
From second Avenue!
From Second Avenue!
Nu!
