Take Back Your Mink Lyrics by Vivian Blaine

Guys and Dolls

[ADELAIDE]
He bought me the fur coat five winters ago
And the gown the following fall
Then the necklace, the bag, the hat, and the shoes
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
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
Take 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
Now 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
[ADELAIDE & GIRLS]
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls?
I'm screaming
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 (Ah!)
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleeves
For somebody else
