Testi Soundtracks :: G

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

Eek.



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

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

Eek!



Take back your mink

Those old worn out pelts

And go shorten the sleaves

For somebody else.



(interlude)



Well, wouldn't you?
