"Glow Worm" lyrics

Glow Worm

Shine, little glow worm
Glimmer, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm
Glimmer, glimmer
Lead us lest too far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder

Shine, little glow worm
Glimmer, glimmer
Hey there, don't get dimmer, dimmer
Light the path below, above
And lead us on to love

Glow, little glow worm, fly of fire
Glow like an incandescent wire
Glow for the female of the species
Turn on the AC and the DC

This night could use a little brightning
Light up, you little old bug of lightning
When you gotta glow, you got to glow
Glow, little glow worm, glow

Glow, little glow worm
Glow and glimmer
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou, aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval

See how the shadows deep and darken
You and your chick should get to sparking
I got a gal that I love so
Glow, little glow worm, glow

Glow, little glow worm, turn the key on
You are equipped with taillight neon
You got a cute vest-pocket, master
Which you can make both slow or faster

I don't know who you took a shine to
Or who you're out to make a sign to
I got a gal that I love so
Glow, little glow worm, glow

Glow, little glow worm, glow
Glow, little glow worm, glow
Glow, little glow worm, glow
