Handbags and Gladrags

(Michael D'Abo)



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
