I'm wearing second-hand hats

"Second-hand rose"

I'm wearing second-hand hats,
Second-hand clothes
That's why they call me second-hand rose
Even the piano in the parlor,
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar.

Second-hand pearls,
I'm wearing second-hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake the plumber he's the man I adore
Has the nerve to tell me he's been married before
Everyone knows that I'm just second-hand rose
From second avenue.
