I call her firefly
cause, oh, my
she radiates moonglow
wants none of that noon glow
she starts to glitter
when the sun goes down

bout eight p. m. , it's mayhem
she switches those brights up
lights up and gives me a call
take me to the fireflies ball

but when I get her there
set her there
do I get to pet her there
and grab me some glow

no, she's a gad about, mad about
luring every lad about
while leaving me moaning low

oh, firefly, why can't I
latch on for you no how
oh, how I love you but gee
while you set the night on
firefly, shine a little light on me

but when I get her there
set her there
do I get to pet her there
and grab me some glow

no, she's a gad about, mad about
luring every lad about
while leaving me moaning low

oh, firefly, why can't I
latch on for you no how
oh, how I love you but gee
while you set the night on
firefly, shine a little light on
shine a little light on
shine a little light on me
(in the mornin')
