Ever seen a blind man cross the road trying to make the other sideEver 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 ofThe handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buyBabyOnce I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smileYou are still a young girl and you bought everything in styleListenBut once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing withoutthe handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sakeAnd take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cakeAnd bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all awaythe handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school todaySo I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladragsthat your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya
