Take Back Your Mink (feat. The Hot Box Girls) [Remastered 2000]

He bought me the fur coat five winters ago And the gown the following fall Then the necklace, the bag, the hats, and the shoes 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 shoes 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 So take back your mink To from whence it came And tell them to hollanderise 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
