Handbags And Gladrags Lyrics - Manfred Mann

Handbags And Gladrags (Complete Greatest Hits Of Manfred Mann) 

Ever seen a blind man cross the road 

Try'na make the other side 

Ever seen a young girl growing old 

Try'na make herself a bride 

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

Once I was a young man and I thought 

All I had to do was smile 

So listen all you young girls 

Who bought everything that's in style 

Cause once you think you're in, you're out 

For you don't mean a thing without 

The handbags and the gladrags 

That your grandad had to sweat, so you could buy 

Sing a song of sixpence for your sake 

And take a bottle full of rye 

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake 

And bake 'em all in a pie 

They told me you missed school today 

So I suggest you just throw away 

The handbags and the gladrags 

That your grandad had to sweat, so you could buy 

Photos 

And 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
