What was the number one song in the UK on 27th August 1964?
British band, The Honeycombs reached the top spot for 2 weeks with Have I the Right?
This upbeat, jangly pop tune starts off sounding like bit of a mess, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it. It’s one of those songs that holds the power to cheer one up. I may even give it a second listen…
Lyrics
Have I the right to hold you? You know I’ve always told you
That we must never ever part oh ooh ooh oh
Have I the right to kiss you? You know I’ll always miss you
I’ve loved you from the very start
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong
Have I the right to touch you? If I could you’d see how much you
Send those shivers running down my spine. Ooh Ooh
Have I the right to thrill you? You know I’ll wait until you
Give me the right to make you mine.
Well, Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong. Oh yeah.
All right!
That we must never ever part oh ooh ooh oh
Have I the right to kiss you? You know I’ll always miss you
I’ve loved you from the very start
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong
Have I the right to touch you? If I could you’d see how much you
Send those shivers running down my spine. Ooh Ooh
Have I the right to thrill you? You know I’ll wait until you
Give me the right to make you mine.
Well, Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong. Oh yeah.
All right!
Have I the right to hold you? You know I’ve always told you
That we must never ever part. No no no no no no
Have I the right to kiss you? You know I’ll always miss you.
I’ve loved you from the very start.
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong. Oh yeah yeah
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back right back where you belong oh yeah
You belong oh yeah

That we must never ever part. No no no no no no
Have I the right to kiss you? You know I’ll always miss you.
I’ve loved you from the very start.
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back I’ll show my love is strong. Oh yeah yeah
Come right back I just can’t bear it
I’ve got this love and I long to share it
Come right back right back where you belong oh yeah
You belong oh yeah
