Handbags & Gladrags Lyrics - The Rod Stewart Album - 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 grandad had to sweat so you could buy? 

Baby

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

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 youre in you're out 

'cause you dont 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
