Ever seen a blind
man cross the road
trying to make the other side
<Interlude>
Ever seen a young girl
growing old
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally
stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to
sweat so you could buy Baby
<Interlude>
Once I was a young man
and all I thought
I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought
everything in style Listen
But once you think you're
in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single
thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had to
sweat so you could buy
<Interlude>
Sing a song of six
pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty
blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you
missed school today
So what I suggest you just
throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had
to sweat to buy
<Interlude>
They told me you
missed school today
So I suggest you just
throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had
to sweat to buy ya
