(x3)
Ever see a blind man cross the road, tryin' to make the other side
Ever see a young girl growing old, tryin' to make herself a bride
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
But once you think your in your out 'cos you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags that your grandad had to sweat so you could buy baby
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
Chorus:
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 grandad had to sweat to buy
Chorus:
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 grandad had to sweat to buy ya
