I've seen you in your coat I've seen you standing by the moat I've seen you standing by the row Watching the buses as they go Lighting up your little light I've seen you speaking to him I think I know him and his name is Jim A classical figure from the past Your relationship will never last Lighting up your little light His mother does not approve She does not approve of your love She says your love is bad And you are slighty twisted and mad Lighting up your little light Your past history is well known To everyone in this particular home He has not so long to go Soon he'll be back to the people he knows Lighting up his little light They call you Margaret in your big pink hat Slightly overweight, yes a little fat Your pain is plain to see But Jim's around and he makes you happy Lighting up your little light If I knew the way to set you free I would give you my bunch of keys Pass your hand through that gate And let you turn the lock but it's too late To light up your little light Oh light up your little light So bye bye, sleep well Bye bye - this isn't Hell Somewhere where you have some style You never know, you just might smile And light up my little light Little Margaret Light up my little light - light
