Light Up Your Little Light

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
