Ever seen a blind man cross the road
tryna' to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
tryna' to 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 Grandad had to sweat so he could buy
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
(Listen)
But 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 Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take 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 Grandad had to sweat to buy
Ohhhhh
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest is you just, throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy ya'
(Baby)
(Bye Bye)
(Mmmmm)
