1966 Barbra Streisand had a hit song
Second Hand Rose. Does any one have
the words? I've checked a couple of lyrics
sites and haven't found them
yet.

SECOND HAND ROSE (Grant Clarke/James F. Hanley) (Artist: Barbra Streisand)

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 wearing second hand curls.
I never get a 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 Second Avenue.

I'm wearing second hand shoes, second hand hose,
All the girls hand me their second hand beaux.
Even my pajamas when I don 'em
Have somebody else's initials on 'em.
Second hand rings, I'm sick of second hand things,
I never get what other girlies do.
Once while strolling through the Ritz a girl got my coat, she nudged her friend
and said, "Oh, look there's my old fur coat!"
Everyone knows that I'm just Second Hand Rose
From Second Avenue.
