I had a girl, really nice girl, down in Wroxham Way,
She were wholly nice to me back in the old school days,
She would smile all the while, but Daddy didn't know all,
What she used to say to me behind the garden wall.
"Have you got a light boy? Have you got a light?"
Then one day, she went away, I don't see her no more,
Till by chance I see her down along the Mundesley shore,
She was there, twice as fair. Would she now be true?
So when she sees me passing by, she say, "I'm glad that's you!
Have you got a light boy, have you got a light?"
Molly Windley, she smokes like a chimley,
But she's my little nicotine girl.
Now you'll see, her and me, never more to part,
We would wander hand in hand together in the dark,
The one night I held her tight, in the old back yard,
But when I tried to hold her close,
She say, "Now hold you hard!"
Have you got a light boy, have you got a light?"
Molly Windley, she smokes like a chimley,
But she's my little nicotine girl.
By and by, we decide, on the wedding day,
So we toddles off to church to hear the preacher say,
"Do you now take this vow, to honour all the time?"
Before I had the chance to stop her, she begins to pine.
"Have you got a light boy, have you got a light?"
Molly Windley, she smokes like a chimley,
But she's my little nicotine girl.
Now the doctor tells me a daddy I will be,
So when I ask him, "What's the score?"
He say there's only three,
So here I go, cheerio, to see how she do fare,
I know what she will say to me as soon as I get there
"Have you got a light ..... boy."
