[Stereophonics, Jools Holland, His Rhythm, Blues Orchestra - Handbags and Gladrags lyrics]
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 poor old granddad
Had to sweat to buy you, baby
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well, you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style
So once you think you're in, you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad
Had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em 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 what I suggest you just
Throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad
Had to sweat to buy you
