Entr'acte / Take Back Your Mink

Lyrics

And now, for the feature number of the evening
 The Hotpot proudly presents
 Miss Adelaide and her debutantes
 ♪
 ♪
 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
 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
 Eek!
 Take back your mink
 Those old worn out pelts
 And go shorten the sleeves
 For somebody else
 ♪
 Well, wouldn't you?
