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-why-why-why-yle Once you think you're in you're out 'Cause you don't 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
