Entr'acte/take Back Your Mink Lyrics - Singles - Guys And Dolls

He bought me the fur mink five winters ago 

And the gown the following fall 

Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat 

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 

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 thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged 

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 them to alter and rise it 

For some other dame 

Take back your mink 

Take back your pearls 

What made you think 

That I was one of those girls? 

I'm screaming 

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 arranged 

Was a token of your esteem 

But when I think of what you want in exchange 

It all seems a horrible dream 

Take back your mink 

Those old worn out pelts 

And go shorten the sleeves 

For somebody else 

Well, wouldn't you?
