Handbags And Gladrags Lyrics - Icon: Rod Stewart - Rod Stewart

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 granddad 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 granddad 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 

Bye, bye
