Father has a business
Slrictly second hand
Everything from
Toothpicks
To a baby grand
Stuff in out 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
Secondhand clothes
That's why they call me
Second Hand Rose
Even our piano in the
Parlor
Daddy bought for ten cents
On the dollar
Secondhand 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
