Handbags And Gladrags Lyrics

Handbags And Gladrags lyrics

Ever seen a blind man cross the road

Tryin' to make the other si-ide

Ever seen a young girl growin' old

Tryin' to make herself a bri-ide



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-uy



Once I was a young man

And I
thought all I had to do was smi-ile

You are still a young girl

And
you bought everything in sty-y-y-y-yle



Once you think youre in
youre out

'Cause you dont mean a single thing without

The handbags
and the gladrags

That your poor old Grandad 

Had to sweat to
buy-uy



Sing a song of six-pence for your sake

And take a
bottle full of rye-ye

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake

And bake
them all in a pie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie



They told me you missed school
today

So I suggest you just throw them all away-ay-ay

The handbags
and the gladrags

That your poor old Granddad 

Had to sweat to
buy-uy

Bye-bye



They told me you missed school today

So
I suggest you just throw them all away-ay

The handbags and the gladrags

That your poor old Grandad 

Had to sweat to buy-uy

Bye-bye
