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 thot 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; So, take back your mink to from whence it came, And tell 'em to Hollanderize it, for some other dame! GIRLS:  Take back your mink, take back your pearls,  What made you think, that I was one of those girls?  (I'm screamin') Take back the gown, take back the hat,  I may be down, but I'm not flat as all that.
