take back your mink (film version) - vivian blaine lyrics

[master of ceremonies, spoken]
thank you, thank you
and now, the feature attraction
of our all new four*d follies
the hot box proudly presents
miss adelaide and her debutantes

[adelaide]
he bought me the fur thing five winters ago
and the gown the following fall
then the necklace, the bag, the hat, and the shoes
oh, what generous gifts 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 madе you think
that i was one of those girls?
take back thе gown
the shoes and the hat
i may be down
but i’m not flat as all that

“i thought that each expensive gift you’d arrange
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 shorten the sleeves
for some other dame”
[adelaide & hot box girls]
“take back your mink
take back your pearls
what made you think
that i was one of those girls?”
i’m saying, “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 arrange
was a token of your esteem
but when i think of what you want in exchange
it all seems a horrible dream (ah!)
take back your mink
those old worn out pelts
and go shorten the sleeves
for somebody else”

[dance break.]

[adelaide & hot box girls, spoken]
well?
wouldn’t you?
