Ever see a blind man cross the road
                            
Trying to make the other side
                           
Ever see 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 poor old Grandad 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 bought everything in style
                 
So once you think you re in you re out
                      
 Cos you don t mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
                                                     
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
                            
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 Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Oh oh
                       
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 Grandad had to sweat to buy you
