Medley (from My Name Is Barbra, Two...)

I'm wearing second hand shoes

Second hand hose

All the girls hand me

Their second hand clothes

Even my pajamas when i don 'em

Have somebody else's

Initials on 'em

Second hand rings

Mmm... second hand 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 a pleasant dining on pheasants

Those things roll off my comb

Just serve me tomatoes

And mashed potatoes

Any place i hang my hat is home



Oh, i got plenty o' 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

Cause the things that i prize

Like the stars in the skies are all free

I got plenty o' nothin'

And nothin's 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

Buddy can you spare a dime?



Nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In your pocket's

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 you

When you're down and out



Oh every one knows

That i'm just second hand rose

>from second avenue

Ya can't beat the egg-creams

>from second avenue

There is more between me

And fifth avenue

Than three blocks

I tell ya

Second avenue



The flowers in spring

The robins that sing

The sun beam that shines

They're yours, they're mine

And love can come to anyone

Because the best things in life are free
