Intro: 4 x Ever seen a blind man cross the road, trying to reach 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 poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you. 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 out, 'cause that don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to 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.
