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-y-y-y-yle



Once you think youre in youre out

'Cause you dont 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
