According to Rogan's book, the complete Smiths or something, it comes from a 1950's film 'The Lambeth Boys' (again, or something like that, i dont have the book with me!)
Hope that helps.

There's an approximate transcript of the dialogue from the documentary (interspersed with the lyrics) online here http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~moz/lyrics/vauxhall/sprdial.htm

It is from We Are The Lambeth Boys (imdb link below) directed by Karel Reisz who directed Saturday Night & Sunday Morning, a 1 hour documentary about a youth club in late 50s London.

One of the biggest mistakes in David Bret's Landscapes Of The Mind is where he foolishly says it's from the 1990s film Let Him Have It about the Bentley hanging case. Bret is an idiot and his book is FULL of mistakes...
