Sara Chase - Second-Hand Suit Lyrics

[MYRTLE]
When my husband George proposed to me
I couldn't help but panic
Never in my wildest fantasy
Did I marry a mechanic
But Georgie said, "We'll strike it rich, you'll see
For I am what you call an up-and-comer"
And so I gave the boy a chance, prayed he would advance
At least he's not a plumber
When I saw him walking down the aisle
He actually looked cute
I couldn't help but crack a smile
He had bought himself a suit
I let him put a ring on me, and gee
He looked so handsome in his bib and tucker
I promised him fidelity for еternity
And boy was I a sucker
It was a second-hand suit, ha
Hе had to borrow a suit for our wedding day
His dreams were all a mirage
And now I live above a garage

I met Mr. Buchanan on a train
He looked just like a lion

[TOM]
Roar

[MYRTLE]
Sittin' at the top of the food chain
I tell you, sparks were flyin'
From the minute that we met

[TOM & MYRTLE]
Kismet
We both knew that it was now or never

[MYRTLE]
On the way to the hotel, all I thought was
"Hell, you can't live forever"
It's bad enough that I was born
To live among the lowest on the ladder
I married up and never left the bottom rung
But now it doesn't matter
You make a vow to stick through thick and thin
And then you learn the vow's a bunch of twaddle
If you hate the wreck you're in, screw the thick and thin
And look for a new motto

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

[MYRTLE]
Ooh!

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

[MYRTLE]
I'm done with second-hand suits

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh-oh-oh
Ah!

[MYRTLE]
I'm done with second-hand suits on a wedding day

[ENSEMBLE]
She won't settle

[MYRTLE]
No more settling for less
I'll live a life of dressing

[MYRTLE & ENSEMBLE]
To impress

[MYRTLE]
Oh, time for life at The Ritz
Tell George I'm calling it quits
I've finally found, woo
Something that fits

[ENSEMBLE]
Doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-do-do
Doo, doo-do-do
Doo-doo

[MYRTLE]
Oh, something that fits
