Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer
Hey there, don't get dimmer, dimmer
Light the path below, above
And lead us on to love
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
This night could use a little brightenin'
Light up, you little old bug of lightnin'
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
[Verse 5]
Glow little glow worm, glow and glimmer
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
[Verse 6]
See how the shadows deep and darken
You and your chick should get to sparkin'
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow worm, glow
[Verse 7]
Glow little glow worm, turn the key on
You are equipped with tail light neon
You got a cute vest-pocket master
Which you can make both slow and faster
[Verse 8]
I don't know who you took the 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
[Outro]
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
Glow little glow worm, glow
