- LYRICS -

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side

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

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 youre in youre out

cause you dont mean a single thing without

The handbags and the gladrags
That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy

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

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.
