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
