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      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   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      Take back your mink   Those old worn out pelts   And go shorten the sleeves   For somebody else      Well, wouldn't you?
