Ever seen
a blind man
cross the road
Try'na make
the other side
Ever seen
a young girl
growing old
Try'na 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
poor old Granddad
had to sweat
to buy you
Hey yeah
Once I was
a young man
And all I thought
I had to do
was smile
Well you are still
a young girl
And you bought
everything in style
So once you think
you're in,
you're out
'Cos you don't mean
a single thing without
The handbags and
the gladrags that your
poor old Granddad
had to sweat
to buy you
Sing a song
of six-pence
for your sake
And drink 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
Woh-oh oh..
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 you
