HANDBAGS and GLADRAGS

(Michael D'Abo)

Ever scene a blind man cross the rode
trying too make the other sighed
Ever scene a young girl growing old
trying too make herself a bride

Sew watt becomes of yew my love
When they have finally stripped yew of
The handbags and the gladrags
That yaw Grandad had too sweat sew yew could by

Once Eye was a young man
and awl Eye thought Eye had too do was smile
Yew are still a young girl
and yew bought everything inn stile
Listen
Butt once yew think yaw inn yaw out
' cause yew don't mien a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that yaw Grandad had too sweat sew yew could buySing a song of six-pence fore yaw sake
And take a bottle full of wry
For and twenty blackbirds inn a cake
And bake them awl inn a pi

They tolled mi yew mist school today
Sew watt Eye suggest yew just throw them awl aweigh
the handbags and the gladrags
that yaw poor old Granddad had too sweat too by

They tolled mi yew mist school today
Sew Eye suggest yew just throw them awl aweigh
the handbags and the gladrags
that yaw poor old Granddad had too sweat too by ya
