I'm wearing...
 secondhand shoes
 secondhand hoes
 all the girls hand me
 their secondhand beaus
 even my pajamas
 when I don 'em
 have somebody else's initials
 on 'em
 secondhand rings
 mmmm... secondhand 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 cut out to step and strut out
 give me the simple life
 some find it pleasant
 dining on pheasant
 those things roll off my... comb?
 just serve me tomatoes
 and mashed potatoes
 Anyplace I hang my hat is home!
 Oh I got plenty of 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
 cuz the things that I prize
 like the stars in the skies
 are all free
 Oh, I got plenty of nothin'
 and nothin' is 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? (sobs)
 Buddy, can ya spare
 a dime?
 Nobody knows ya
 when you're down and out
 in your pocket,
 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 ya
 when your down and out
 Oh, everyone knows
 that I'm just secondhand rose
 from second avenue
 ya can't beat the egg creams!
 from second aven--
 there's more between me and fifth avenue than three blocks I'll tell ya
 second avenue
 the flowers in spring,
 the robins that sing
 the sunbeams that shine,
 they're yours, they're mine
 And love can come
 to anyone
 because the best things in life
 are free!
