Handbags And Gladrags
Composer(s): Michael d'Abo
Performer(s): Mike d'Abo;
and various other artists
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride
And 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
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
So listen all you young girls
Who have bought everything thats in style
Cos once you think you're in you're out
For you don't mean a thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your 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 em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
And 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
