| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 (x2)
|
| 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 |
