Medley Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

I'm wearing... 

secondhand shoes 

secondhand hoes 

all the girls hand me 

their secondhand beaus 

even my pajamas 

when I don 'em 

have somebody else's initials 

on 'em 

secondhand rings 

mmmm... secondhand things 

I never get what other girlies do 

Once while strolling through the Ritz 

a girl got my goat 

she nudged her friend and said 

"oh, look! there goes my old fur coat!" 

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' 

why mess around with strife? 

I never was cut out to step and strut out 

give me the simple life 

some find it pleasant 

dining on pheasant 

those things roll off my... comb? 

just serve me tomatoes 

and mashed potatoes 

Anyplace I hang my hat is home! 

Oh I got plenty of nothin' 

and nothin's plenty for me 

I got no car 

I got no mule 

I got no misery 

don't you see? 

I got no lock on my door 

that's okay with me 

cuz the things that I prize 

like the stars in the skies 

are all free 

Oh, I got plenty of nothin' 

and nothin' is plenty 

for me 

Once I built a railroad 

made it run 

made it race against time 

Once I built a railroad 

Now it's done 

brother, can you spare a dime? 

Say, don't you remember 

they called me "Al?" 

It was Al all the time. 

Say, don't you remember 

I'm your pal? (sobs) 

Buddy, can ya spare 

a dime? 

Nobody knows ya 

when you're down and out 

in your pocket, 

not one penny 

and your friends, well, you haven't any 

Soon as you get on your feet again, 

everybody, everybody is your long lost friend 

it's mighty strange, 

without a doubt, 

but nobody knows ya 

when your down and out 

Oh, everyone knows 

that I'm just secondhand rose 

from second avenue 

ya can't beat the egg creams! 

from second aven-- 

there's more between me and fifth avenue than three blocks I'll tell ya 

second avenue 

the flowers in spring, 

the robins that sing 

the sunbeams that shine, 

they're yours, they're mine 

And love can come 

to anyone 

because the best things in life 

are free!
