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 finally stripped you of
the handbags and the gladrags
that your granddad had to sweat to buy
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
but once you think you’re in you’re out
’cause you don’t mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that granddad had to sweat to buy
sing a song of sixpence for your sake
and drink a bottle full of rye mmm
four and twenty blackbirds in a plate
and bake them in a pie 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 granddad had to sweat to buy ah to buy
you gotta listen to what i’m saying ’cause i’m tellin’ you girl
right where you are
oh withoout the handbgs
you’re no superstar
