Handbags And Gladrags

EVER SEEN A BLIND MAN
CROSS THE ROAD
TRYIN' TO MAKE
THE OTHER SIDE
EVER SEEN A YOUNG GIRL
GROWIN' OLD
TRYIN' TO MAKE HERSELF
A BRIDE
SO WHAT
BECOMES OF YOU
MY LOVE
WHEN THEY HAVE FINALLY
STRIPPED YOU OF
THE HANDBAGS
AND THE GLAD RAGS
THAT YOUR POOR
OLD GRANDDAD
HAD TO SWEAT
TO BUY YOU
LADY
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 'CAUSE YOU DON'T MEAN
A SINGLE THING
WITHOUT
THE HANDBAGS
AND THE GLAD RAGS
THAT YOUR POOR
OLD GRANDDAD
HAD TO SWEAT
TO BUY YOU
SING A SONG OF
SIXPENCE
FOR YOUR SAKE
AND DRINK A BOTTLE
FULL OF RYE
FOUR AND TWENTY
BLACKBIRDS IN A CAKE
AND BAKE 'EM 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 GLAD RAGS
THAT YOUR POOR
OLD GRANDDAD
HAD TO SWEAT
TO BUY YOU
OH OOH WOH
THEY TOLD ME
YOU MISSED SCHOOL
TODAY
SO WHAT I'LL SUGGEST
YOU JUST
THROW THEM ALL AWAY
THE HANDBAGS
AND THE GLAD RAGS
THAT YOUR POOR
OLD GRANDDAD
HAD TO SWEAT
TO BUY YOU;
