[BARBRA STREISAND, sung]
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

[spoken]
I hope not!

[sung]
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
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm sick of second hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new

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

Everyone knows that I'm just
Second hand Rose
From 2nd Avenue
From 2nd Avenue

[spoken]
New?
One more time!

[sung]
Everyone knows that I'm just

[CROWD, sung]
Second hand Rose
From 2nd Avenue

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
What?
[sung]
Once while strolling through the Ritz
A girl got my goat

[CROWD, sung]
She nudged her friend and said
"Oh look, there goes my old fur coat"

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
You don’t need me!

[sung]
Everyone knows that I’m just
Second hand Rose
From 2nd Aven-

[spoken]
Good

[sung]
From 2nd Aven-

[spoken]
Right
