Handbags And Gladrags - Rod Stewart lyrics

Handbags And Gladrags

W/B : Michael D'Abo

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
tryin' to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
tryin' 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 Granddad 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 you're in – you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Granddad had to sweat – so you could buy – Hm…

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 – could buy, oh…..

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 – could buy ya…
