Take Back Your Mink (Film Version) lyrics

[MASTER OF CEREMONIES, spoken]
Thank you, thank you
And now, the feature attraction
Of our all new Four-D Follies
The Hot Box proudly presents
Miss Adelaide and her Debutantes

[ADELAIDE]
He bought me the fur thing five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
Then the necklace, the bag, the hat, and the shoes
Oh, what generous gifts 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 madе you think
That I was one of those girls?
Take back thе 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 arrange
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 shorten the sleeves
For some other dame"
[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
"Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?"
I'm saying, "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 arrange
Was a token of your esteem
But when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream (Ah!)
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else"

[Dance break.]

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
Well?
Wouldn't you?
