It was definitely my intention to earworm people.

That's to the tune of "Second Hand Rose".

Here's a You-Tube featuring Fanny Bryce, (rather than Barbra Streisand).

And these are the lyrics:

Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from fathers store
Even things Im wearing someone wore before
Its no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that aint been used

Im wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
Thats why they call me
Second hand rose

Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
Im sick of second hand curls
I never get a single think thats new
Even jake, the plumber, hes a man I adore
Had the nerve to tell me hes been married before!

Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
From second avenue! nu!

One more time!
Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
(from second avenue!)
From what?
Lets see if you know the fills!
Once while strooling
Through the ritz a girl got my goat...
(she nudged her friend
And said oh look there goes
My old fur coat)
You dont need me!

Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
(ya cant beat the egg-creams!)
Good! second avenue!
(there is more between me
And fifth avenue, I tell ya)
Right! second avenue!

Notice that it's Jake the Plumber, and she pronounces "nerve" as "noive".

You mean Barbra Streisand “sang” that? She might have made lotsa money with her voice but she’s as much a wack job as Michael Moore.

I don’t understand how James Brolin could marry her. He seemed so SMART! ohwell...

Thanks for the nice memory.
