Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Tryin' to make the other side?
You ever seen a young girl growin'
old Tryin' to make herself a bride?
And what becomes of you, my love,
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the glad racks That your granddad 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
are bored 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 glad racks That your granddad had to sweat
so you could
buy?
Baby, baby, bye, bye
Sing a song of sixpence for your sake
And take a bottle full of bride Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
They come all in a pack They
told me you missed school today
So I suggest you throw away
The handbags and the glad racks
That your granddad had to sweat so you could buy?
You missed school today
So I suggest you throw them all away
Talkin' about the handbags,
glad racks That your granddad had to sweat
so you could buy?
