Rod Stewart - Handbags & Gladrags lyrics

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? 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? Baby Once I was a young man And all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl And you bought everything in style Listen But once you think youre in you're out Cause you dont mean a single 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 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 They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away The handbags and the gladrags That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya, baby! Bye, bye!
