Dance Lyrics - Singles - Rebecca And Fiona

I'm wearing second hand shoes 

Second hand hose 

All the girls hand me 

Their second hand clothes 

Even my pajamas when I darn 'em 

Have somebody else's 

Initials on 'em 

Second hand rings 

Mmm... second hand 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 caught out 

To step and strut out 

Give me the simple life 

Some find a pleasant dining on pheasants 

Those things roll off my comb 

Just serve me tomatoes 

And mashed potatoes 

Any place I hang my hat is home 

Oh, I got plenty o' 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 

Cause the things that I prize 

Like the stars in the skies are all free 

I got plenty o' nothin' 

And nothin's 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 

Buddy can you spare a dime? 

Nobody knows you 

When you're down and out 

In your pocket's 

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 you 

When you're down and out 

Oh every one knows 

That I'm just second hand rose 

From second avenue 

Ya can't beat the egg-creams 

From second avenue 

There is more between me 

And fifth avenue 

Than three blocks 

I tell ya 

Second avenue 

The flowers in spring 

The robins that sing 

The sun beam that shines 

They're yours, they're mine 

And love can come to anyone 

Because the best things in life are free
