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 
Now 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 sleaves 
For somebody else. 

(interlude) 

I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged 
Was a token of your esteem 
Now 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.
