Rod Stewart - Handbags & Gladrags lyrics

(michael d'abo)<br><br>Ever seen a blind man cross the road<br>Trying to make the other side<br>Ever seen a young girl growing old<br>Trying to make herself a bride<br><br>So what becomes of you my love<br>When they have finally stripped you of<br>The handbags and the gladrags<br>That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy<br>Baby<br><br>Once I was a young man<br>And all I thought I had to do was smile<br>You are still a young girl<br>And you bought everything in style<br>Listen<br>But once you think you're in you're out<br>'cause you don't mean a single thing without<br>The handbags and the gladrags<br>That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy<br><br>Sing a song of six-pence for your sake<br>And take a bottle full of rye<br>Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake<br>And bake them all in a pie<br><br>They told me you missed school today<br>So what I suggest you just throw them all away<br>The handbags and the gladrags<br>That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy<br><br>They told me you missed school today<br>So I suggest you just throw them all away<br>The handbags and the gladrags<br>That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya
