"Second Hand Rose" written by Grant Clarke and James F Hanley.
1921 song written for Fanny Brice. Producer Renee plays her rendition on piano. Here are the Lyrics :
Father has a business, strictly second hand,
Everything from toothpicks, to a baby grande,
The stuff in our apartment, came from Father's store,
Even the clothes I'm wearing, someone wore before,
It's no wonder that I feel abused, I never get a thing that ain't been used,
I'm wearing, second hand hats, second hand clothes,
That's why they call me Second Hand Rose,
Even our piano in the parlor, Father 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,
He had the nerve to tell me, he's been married before,
Everyone knows that I'm just Second Hand Rose.
From Second Avenue, from Second Avenue,... New ?
