Take Back Your Mink

[Intro]
He gave me the fur thing five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
And then the bracelet, the bag, the hat, and the shoes
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

[Verse 1]
Oh, take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?

[Verse 2]
Take back the gown
The shoes and the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that

[Bridge]
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrangеd
Was a token of your esteem
Now when I think of what you want in еxchange
It all seems a horrible dream
[Verse 3]
So take back your mink
To from whence it came
And tell 'em to Hollanderize it
For some other dame

[Verse 1]
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
I'm screaming

[Verse 2]
Now take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
Now I, I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that

[Bridge]
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
Now when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream

[Verse 4]
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else
