Subject: RE: comedy songs - why do they get boring?
I knows a gal a real fine gal, down in Roxham way She were whooly 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 down by the garden wall "Have you got a light Boy? Have you got a light?"
Chorus. Molly Lindley, she smokes like a chimney But she's my little nicotene gal
Now you'll see her and me never more to part We would wander hand in hand together in the dark 'Til one night I held her tight in the old back yard But when I tries to hold her close she says "Now hold you hard!" Have you got a light boy? Have you got a light?
Chorus
Then one day she go away. I don't see her no more 'Til by chance I see her down along the (Mundley?) shore She be there twice as fair but will she now be true So when she sees me passing by she says "I'm glad that's you! Have you got a light boy? Have you got a light"
Chorus
By and by we decide on a wedding day So we toddles off to church to hear the preacher say Will you now take this vow to honour all the time Before I has a chance to stop her, she begins to pine "Have you got a light boy? Have you got a light?"
Chorus
Now the doctor tells me a daddy I shall be but when I asks him "Whats the score?" he says there's only three So here I go Cheerio, to see how she do fair I know what she will say to me as soon as I get's there "Have you got a li..............ght, b.............o................y?"
