Entr'acte; Take Back Your Mink

ENTR'ACTE
(Instrumental)

[ANNOUNCER:]
And now for the featured number of the evening The Hot Box proudly presents
Miss Adelaide and her debutantes.

[ADELAIDE:]
He bought me the fur thing five winters ago
And the gown the following fall.
Then the necklace the bag the gloves and the hat
That was late 'forty-eight 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 gloves and the hat
I may be down but I'm not flat as all that.

I thot 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;
So take back your mink to from whence it came
And tell 'em to Hollanderize it for some other dame!

[GIRLS:]
Take back your mink take back your pearls
What made you think that I was one of those girls?
(I'm screamin')
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
Now when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream eek!
So...take back your mink those old worn-out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves for somebody else!

[ADELAIDE & GIRLS:]
Well! Wouldn't you!?!
