Barbra Streisand - Medley Lyrics






I'm wearing second hand shoes
Second hand hose
All the girls hand me
Their second hand clothes
Even my pajamas when I darn 'em
Have somebody else's
Initials on 'em
Second hand rings
Hmm... Second hand things
I never get what other girlies do
Once while strolling
Through the Ritz a girl got my goat...
She nudged her friend
And said, oh, look there goes
My old fur coat

I don't believe in
Frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife
I never was caught out
To step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find a pleasant dining on pheasants
Those things roll off my comb
Just serve me tomatoes
And mashed potatoes
Any place I hang my hat is home

Oh, I got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me
I got no car,
I got no mule
I got no misery
Don't you see?
I got no lock on my door
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize,
Like the stars in the skies, are all free
I got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me

Once I built a railroad
Made it run,
Made it race
Against time
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Say don't you remember
They called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don't you remember
I'm your pal
Buddy can you spare a dime?

Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket's
Not one penny
And your friends
Well, you haven't any
Soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody
Everybody
Is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange
Without a doubt
But nobody knows you
When you're down and out

Oh, every one knows
That I'm just second hand Rose
From Second Avenue
Ya can't beat the egg-creams
From Second Avenue
There is more between me
And Fifth Avenue
Than three blocks
I tell ya
Second Avenue

The flowers in spring
The robins that sing
The sun beams that shine
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to anyone
Because the best things in life are free

    Streisand is like a fine wine, the older the better!  Awesome!   :))

  9. C.... P....

    Love love my Barbara

  10. G.... G....

    Lindo,maravilhoso, Barbra canta os sucessos de ontem com uma nova interpretação, aliás a sua voz continua com aquela potência de sempre. E os Partners, sem comentários!á Um trabalho de tirar o chapéu como sempre. Aliás como tudo que ela faz.

  11. l.... ....

    Does she have only one usic for all her songs?

  12. C.... D....

    I love you Barbara Streisand, you have a voice no one could match.  Christmas is coming and I asked for your CD partners and I sure hope someone listened as that would be the best gift ever....God bless you

  13. M.... B....

    I sure wish those that trash her work would have credentials to do so....She is as good as it gets and there will never be this level of talent in voice for generations....Just pay tribute to someone that is making #1 records into her 70's.  Show some respect. If those that have the credentials cannot say one bad thing, then you might want to produce the tickets to judge!

  14. t.... ....

    The Elvis duet gave me goosebumps...

  15. 5.... ....

    all excellent songs...

  16. M.... ....

    As always.. SUPERB!

  17. C.... M....

    Stevie Wonder said it right, she is as good as she was in the sixties, just a matured voice. What a thrill to hear her again.

    It is curious that all the partners are male. I'd like for her to give women a chance.

  18. B.... T....

    The lady has still got it, even at 71. Who's counting?  Love you Barbara and May Hashem Bless you always.
    Love and greetings from Singapore.
    Le Hit Tra Oat

  19. F.... M....

    Barbra está fantástica em todas as faixas do álbum!

  20. M.... ....

    john mayer and barbara streisand fucked

  21. A.... C....

    Τοσο διαχρονική.......!

  22. S.... T....

    As a UK country fan I was hoping to hear her duet with Blake Shelton on here, but sadly it's not on here.

  23. b.... s....

    She never fails to amaze me!

  24. m.... j....

    The best of all times

  25. R.... B....

    I can't believe Barbra Streisand and all her greatness, could not find a couple of writers, that will write some new material for her
    I remember when she was pushing A star is born, she was interviewed (a full hour on 20/20) by Barbara Walters and when Walters asked her how she fills singing material that is so new to her
    She reply, well I do not want to find my self singing People when I am 70
    Guess what, she is, with Stevie Wonder that BTW is the worst track in the CD, even worst that the one with her son Jason

  26. K.... H....

    I just read about this new album of Barbara Streisand. Duets with other Great male singers. No doubt it is going to be a real Shlager of an album. Thank you Barbara Streisand for the magical nostalgic music you have produced over the last 6 decades. Its incredible that Barbara is 71 years old yet STILL has her strong pure voice that she had as a 20 year old! A true Legend. No one produces more nostalgic music than Barbara Streisand. Ever seen the audience in a live concert of Barbara Streisand? - They are all sucking their thumbs like babies LOL.

  27. J.... N....

    Barbara I love you and so does my Sister and My dearly beloved Mother. I think this song with Elvis is incredible. You sound still as beautiful as you always have. I hope I can see you in concert one day if you are still doing them. Somehow, you just feel connected to certain people, you are one of these people for me. :)

  28. W.... ....

    Amazing album! The duets are one great one after another.  But, I must say her son's voice, Jason Gould, is simply breathtaking.  Alongside Barbara the two voices are incomparable in today's music industry.  Yes, he should have shared his voice with us many years ago.  

  29. T.... J....

    After listening to these duets! I ordered the album. My husband and I both enjoy the songs.

  30. C.... P....

    Streisand and Buble. A match made in heaven!

  31. n.... g....

    I nevr knew people called Barbara 'babs' that's the name-call/ endearment my brother and I use with eachother.

  32. n.... g....

    I nevr knew people called Barbara 'babs' that's the name-call/ endearment my brother and I use with eachother.

  33. n.... g....

    I CANT WAIT! !!!!!

  34. n.... g....

    I CANT WAIT! !!!!!

  35. T.... W....

    I like her singing duos with Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli.  As you noticed Barbara Streisand usually overpowers and outshines most guys she sings with except these two.

  36. R.... H....

    interesting combinations that go beyond just the voice but I love it all............

  37. L.... C....

    The BEST! An ultimate and timeless voice! No one comes close or ever will with this Songbird's voice! Barbra's voice puts me in a place I long to stay...Always.

  38. S.... G....

    As a Streisand fan since 1965, this will be an album to remember. The choice of artist and song along with the Diva couldn't be better. Platinum, here she comes!!!

  39. J.... ....

    Classic songs and voices.  The fact that so many  great artists partnered with her says a lot about Ms. Streisand's talent and stature.  Her voice has touched my life for decades.  Thank you for the beautiful creativity on this album. xo

  40. B.... B....

    She's 72 years old people. She's not going to sound the way she did thirty years ago. Don't be idiots

  41. L.... ....

    I love it the best

  42. P.... T....

    Wow! My goosebumps have goosebumps!

  43. J.... E....

    Sends chills up my spine.  I'm a NYer, grew up on Barbra, no one else comes close; love these songs and all the artists.

  44. R.... I....

    Many of the selections send chills up my back. Her voice remains almost as strong
    as in the early years. You can see a lot of thought and love when into  this new recording.

  45. G.... G....

    Her voice is as a pure diamond . Love her sins always , my favorite is People ,

  46. B.... ....

    The only interesting part is Stevie Wonder singing People. Bland and mannered singing by all. I loved Streisand in the 60's but that was a different, less self-conscious singer.

  47. J.... c....

    Amazing, she just gets better year in, year out. No finer singer that this lady. Her don is a natrual as well.

  48. R.... L....

    WOW!!!!FROM ONE EX-BROOKLYNITE TO ANOTHER....WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID BUT "WOW" THANKS AGAIN BARBRA....

  49. C.... H....

    My most favorite album of hers yet !

  50. V.... V....

    Love love love it. I love Ms. Streisand in anything she does, but partnered with some of the best. Again love it

  51. K.... V....

    She's 72!

  52. j.... t....

    Great music always can listen to Barbara! :)

  53. R.... S....

    Barbra sems to be endless still sounds fantastic

  54. D.... S....

    It doesn't get any better than Barbara!

  55. J.... C....

    Awesome

  56. S.... F....

    State of mind and she is a fantastic singer.

  57. B.... H....

    My favorite all time singer and actress!  Gotta get this...

  58. N.... M....

    Simplemente maravillosa, adoro su voz!!!. Thank you, Barbra!!!, por regalarme tan hermosos momentos con tu voz. It's WONDERFUL!

  59. A.... S....

    Maravilhosa e perfeita! Sem igual!

  60. N.... S....

    This sounds absolutely incredible!!! I can't wait to get my CD!!!! Love every song!!!

  61. C.... S....

    SIMPLY BARBRA DIVA OF ALL TIME VOICE OF ANGEL ME .................. I get emotional every time I hear BARBRA ...

  62. L.... F....

    It seems clear this was recorded through an extended period of time. Her voice sounds so irregular and even though most of the songs work beautifully as duets, Barbra's performance is not Always good, being the lowest point (sadly) The Way We Were. She sounds tired, weary , dull. Lionel Richie doesn't help much either. LOVE  Bocceli, Mayor and Babyface's duets. It Had To Be You, clearly Stands Out , though.

  63. J.... N....

    She sounds OUTSTANDING for her age. Proves that age is nothin' but a number. So stoked & thrilled for this album. What an extraordinary collection of talent. 

  64. B.... A....

    Still Awesome

    B.... A....

    One of the best. Love her as a singer and an actress.

  65. M.... B....

    So many people don't understand what voices do when they age....Streisand is 72 years old and her voice is un-comparable to anyone else of that age.  We are all very lucky to live in a time to hear this magic.  Stop comparing it to her earlier work.  Just be grateful that she is still producing impeccable work.

    M.... B....

    couldn't of put it better myself.

    M.... B....

    You are truly right! Ms. Barbra is God's greatest gift to the music world!

  66. R.... B....

    Oh Babs! One of the most beautiful voices of all time

  67. t.... t....

    8 more days

  68. o.... ....

    New work from Barbra has been an event for over fifty years! It's always wonderful to watch where she will take that cosmic talent of hers next.

  69. N.... F....

    We hope you rack up some Grammy nominations !

  70. s.... s....

    LOST INSIDE OF YOU!!! STILL LIKE THE BUBBLE ONE THE BEST!!!

  71. s.... s....

    A NEW SPIN ON HER CLASSICS LOVE THE BUBLE DUET AND JASON  BILLE JOEL SHE SHOULD HAVE SANG TOGETHER WITH THEM NOT SEPARTELY BUT  ALL IN ALL ITS BABS  GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL THE BOCELLI OOOHHH

  72. A.... B....

    Wonderful !!!!!!

  73. D.... S....

    I think she had a cold during these recording sessions, which at times there is a grating sound to her voice. My favourite is the Bocelli's duet, " I See Your Face " 

    D.... S....

    She tends to have a slight rasp to her higher chest voice notes. It's developed over the past 10 years. It is more apparent on her live recordings, but seems to appear a lot less in the recording studio. 

    D.... S....

    I love the Lionel Richie duet. Also love the Buble track.

    D.... S....

    @Jason Mikhail Poe But what do you think it is then? Many say age. But she has stated that she never does scales or vocal conditioning. This is essential for every singer. She only "warms up" when doing a recording or concert. 

    D.... S....

    If she doesn't keep her voice in shape and only warms it up the month before the concert, it is like preparing for a triathlon by doing 10 jumping jacks. It takes a toll and there are only so many times you can come back from that. Being in the studio, combined with her amazing breath capacity and control, this is her best singing in decades. And I do not mean auto-tune. Her in the studio, just singing, not trying to project across a stadium.    

    D.... S....

    @David Medina I sang for 20 years, professionally. Don't get to sing much at all these days, however, it only takes 15 minutes of remembering breathing technique , getting comfortable...and it's back, it's ALL back! Range, strength, so indeed it is possible.
