Intro: 4 x                 Ever seen a blind man cross the road     trying to reach 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 Grandad 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     and you bought everything in style.                But once you think you’re in you’re out     ’cause that don’t mean a single thing without     the handbags and the gladrags     that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy.                         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 to buy.                         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.   u>
