Lyrics:
Hev you got a loight boy?
I knows a gal a real fine gal, down in Wroxham 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?"

Molly Lindley, she smokes like a chimney
But she's my little nicotine 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?

Molly Lindley, she smokes like a chimney
But she's my little nicotine gal

Then one day she went away. I don't see her no more
'Til by chance I seen her down along the Mundsley shore
She was 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"

Molly Lindley, she smokes like a chimney
But she's my little nicotene gal

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?"

Molly Lindley, she smokes like a chimney
But she's my little nicotine gal

Now the doctor tells me, a daddy I shall be
but when I asks him "What's the score?" he says there's only three
So here I goo 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?"

The Singing Postman 1966

Allan Smethurst (November 19, 1927 - December 23, 2000), aka The Singing Postman was an English postman and singer. Smethurst was raised in Sheringham, Norfolk. His mother came from the village of Stiffkey. Smethurst hummed tunes on his daily post round for many years, before writing and singing songs in his native Norfolk dialect in the 1950s. An audition tape sent to the BBC earned him a spot on Ralph Tuck's local radio show, and Tuck promoted Smethurst under his own record label, "The Smallest Recording Organisation in the World". In 1966, the Singing Postman's best known hit "Hev Yew Gotta Loight, Boi?" won Smethurst the Ivor Novello Award for best novelty song of the year. The hit knocked the Beatles from the top of the East Anglia hit parade and remained in the charts for nine weeks. The song had a small comeback in 1994 when it was featured on a television commercial for Ovaltine. After appearing on The Des O'Connor Show, he signed with EMI and went on to record over 80 songs. He quit the music business in 1970. Smethurst died in December 2000 after living the last twenty years of his life in a Salvation Army hostel in Grimsby.
