Rod Stewart — Handbags and Gladrags

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 your grandad had to sweat so you could buy Ooh [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] 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 Oh, woah [Outro] 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
