Handbags And Gladrags
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.
And what becomes of you my love,
When they have finally stripped you of,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy.
Once I was a young man,
And all I thought I had to do was smile.
So listen all you young girls,
Who have bought everything that's in style.
'Cos once you think you're in you're out,
For you don't mean a thing without,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could 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 'em all in a pie.
They told me you missed school today,
So I suggest you just throw away,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy.
And what becomes of you my love,
When they have finally stripped you of,
The handbags and the gladrags,
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy.
Bolsos y Ropas Elegantes
Alguna vez has visto a un ciego cruzar la calle,
Tratando de llegar al otro lado.
Alguna vez has visto a una joven envejecer,
Tratando de convertirse en novia.
Y qué será de ti, mi amor,
Cuando finalmente te despojen de,
Los bolsos y las ropas elegantes,
Que tu abuelo sudó para que pudieras comprar.
Una vez fui un joven,
Y pensaba que solo tenía que sonreír.
Así que escuchen todas ustedes, jóvenes chicas,
Que han comprado todo lo que está de moda.
Porque una vez que crees que estás dentro, estás afuera,
Porque no significas nada sin,
Los bolsos y las ropas elegantes,
Que tu abuelo sudó para que pudieras comprar.
Canta una canción de seis peniques por tu bien,
Y toma una botella llena de centeno.
Veinticuatro mirlos en un pastel,
Y hornéalos todos en un pastel.
Me dijeron que faltaste a la escuela hoy,
Así que te sugiero que simplemente deseches,
Los bolsos y las ropas elegantes,
Que tu abuelo sudó para que pudieras comprar.
Y qué será de ti, mi amor,
Cuando finalmente te despojen de,
Los bolsos y las ropas elegantes,
Que tu abuelo sudó para que pudieras comprar.
