Medley Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Medley

Im wearing second hand shoes
Second hand hose
All the girls hand me
Their second hand clothes
Even my pajamas when I darn 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 caught 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
