Entr’acte / Take Back Your Mink Lyrics by Faith Prince, Denise Faye, JoAnn M. Hunter

Guys and Dolls (New Broadway Cast Recording)

1992

[Part I: Entr'acte]
\n
\n[MASTER OF CEREMONIES, spoken]
\nAnd now for the feature number of the evening
\nThe Hot Box proudly presents
\nMiss Adelaide and her Debutantes
\n
\n[Part II: Take Back Your Mink]
\n
\n[ADELAIDE]
\nHe bought me the fur thing five winters ago
\nAnd the gown the following fall
\nThen the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat
\nThat was late '48, I recall
\nThen last night in his apartment
\nHe tried to remove them all
\nAnd I said as I ran down the hall
\n
\n"Take back your mink
\nTake back your pearls
\nWhat made you think
\nThat I was one of those girls?
\nTake back the gown
\nThe gloves and the hat
\nI may be down
\nBut I'm not flat as all that
\n
\n"I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
\nWas a token of your esteem
\nBut when I think of what you want in exchange
\nIt all seems a horrible dream (Eek)
\nSo take back your mink
\nTo from whence it came
\nAnd tell them to Hollanderize it
\nFor some other dame"
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
\n"Take back your mink
\nTake back your pearls
\nWhat made you think
\nThat I was one of those girls?
\nTake back the gown
\nThe gloves and the hat
\nI may be down
\nBut I'm not flat as all that
\n
\n"I thought that each expensive gift you'd arrange
\nWas a token of your esteem
\nBut when I think of what you want in exchange
\nIt all seems a horrible dream (Ah!)
\nTake back your mink
\nThose old worn out pelts
\nAnd go shorten the sleeves
\nFor somebody else"
\n
\n[Dance break.]
\n
\n[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
\nWell?
\nWouldn't you?\n\n
