[GOOD TIME CHARLEY BERNSTEIN, spoken]
And now for the feature number of the evening
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 gloves, and the hat
Ooh, 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, ooh

"Take back your mink
Take back your pеarls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
Takе back the 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
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 Hollanderize it
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 screamin'
"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
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else"

[Dance break.]

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Come on

[HOT BOX GIRLS & ADELAIDE]
Take back your mink (Take back your mink)
Take back your pearls (I'm [?])
What made you think (What made you think that)
That I was one of those girls? (I'm screamin')
Take back the gown (Take back the gown)
Take back the hat (I don't even like it)
I may be down (I may be down)
[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
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

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
It all seems a horrible dream (A horrible dream)

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
For somebody else (Take back your mink)
For somebody else (Take back your mink)
For somebody else (Somebody else)

[ADELAIDE]
Take back your mink!
