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 have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy you?

Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile.

You are still a young girl.
You bought everything in style. (Yes you did.)

And once you think you're in, you're out.
'Cause you don't need a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy you.

Sing a song of six pence for your sake.
Drink a bottle full of rye.

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake.
Bake them all in a pie.

You 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 you.

You 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 you.

Mmm...

Oh yeah...
