Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Tryna reach the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Tryna 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?
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've borne everything in style
But once you think you're in, you're out
But that 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 sixpence for your sake
And bought a bottle full of rye
Four and 20 blackbirds in a cake
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 you
Oh, yeah
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
