HANDBAGS and GLADRAGS lyrics

Artist  : Rod Stewart 
Song : HANDBAGS and GLADRAGS
 


(Michael D'Abo)

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 Grandad 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 Grandad had to sweat
so you could 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 I suggest you just
throw them all away
the handbags and the
gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to
sweat to buy ya
