[Intro]
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer [x2]

[Verse 1]
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!

[Chorus]
Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire
Glow like an incandescent wire

[Verse 2]
Glow for the female of the species
Turn on the AC and the DC
This night could use a little brightening
Light up you little old bug of lightning
When you got to glow, you got to glow

[Chorus]
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer
[Verse 3]
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
See how the shadows deepen, darken
You and your chick should get to sparking
I got a gal that I love so

[Chorus]
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on

[Verse 4]
You are equipped with taillight neon
You got a cute vest-pocket mazda
Which you can make both slow and faster
I don't know who you took a shine to
Or who you're out to make a sign to
I got a girl that I love so
Glow little glow-worm, glow
