Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's say you're lost in a park, sure
You can give in to the dark or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
When you're alone in your room
Your choices just embrace the gloom or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
[Verse 2]
For if you hide under the covers
You might never see the day
But if a spark can start inside your heart
Then you can always find the way
So when life is getting dreary
Just pretend that you're a leerier
As you trip a little light fantastic with me
[Verse 3]
What's a leerier?
Why it's what we lamplighters call ourselves, of course
Leeriers, trip the lights and lead the way
[Verse 4]
Now when you're stuck in the mist, sure
You can struggle and resist or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
Now say you're lost in the crowd, well
You can stamp and scream out loud or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
[Verse 5]
And when the fog comes rolling in
Just keep you feet upon the path
Mustn't mope and frown or worse, lie down
Don't let it be your epitaph
[Verse 6]
So when life is getting scary be your own illuminary
Who can shine the light for all the world to see
As you trip a little light fantastic with me
[Verse 7]
A leerier loves the edge of night
Though dim to him the world looks bright
He's got the gift of second sight
(To trip a little light fantastic)
A leeriers job's to light the way
(To tame the night and make it day)
We mimic the moon, yes, that's our aim
(For we're the keepers of the flame)
[Verse 8]
And if you're deep inside a tunnel
And there is no end in sight
Well, just carry on until the dawn
It's darkest right before the light
[Verse 9]
As you trip a little light fantastic
Won't you trip a little light fantastic?
Come on, trip a little light fantastic with me
[Verse 10]
Oi, oi, oi
[Verse 11]
You've got it, now let's get you all back home
[Verse 12]
Now if your life is getting foggy
That's no reason to complain
There's so much in store
Inside the door at seventeen Cherry Tree Lane
[Verse 13]
So when troubles are incessant
Simply be more incandescent
For your light comes with my lifetime guarantee
As you (Trip a little light fantastic)
Won't you (Trip a little light fantastic)?
Come on trip a little light fantastic with me
Trip a little light fantastic
