Ever see a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
ย
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
ย
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, baby
ย
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
ย
Well, you are still a young girl
And you've borne everything in style
ย
So 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 granddad
Had to sweat to buy you
ย
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
ย
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
ย
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, oh-woah
ย
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
