Handbags and Gladrags Lyrics by Chase (Rock)

[Vese 1]
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 finally stripped you of
[Refrain]
The handbags and the gladrags
That your granddad had to sweat to buy
[Verse 2]
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 really out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
[Refrain]
The handbags and the gladrags
That your granddad had to sweat to buy
[Verse 3]
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye, mmm
Four and twenty blackbirds in a plate
And you bake them in a pie, yeah
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
[Refrain]
The handbags and the gladrags
That your granddad had to sweat to buy
Ah, to buy
[Outro]
Oh you gotta listen to what I'm saying 'cause I'm tellin' you, girl
Ha, right where you are
Oh, without the handbags and gladrags you're nothing
You're no superstar
I said, ah
