Lyrics

I call her Firefly 'cause, oh, my
She radiates moon glow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter when the sun goes down
About eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches the 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 onto you, no how
Oh, how I love you but gee, while you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on me
He calls me Firefly 'cause, oh, my
I radiate moon glow
Want none of that noon glow
Start to glitter when the sun goes down
About eight p.m., it's mayhem
I'm switching those brights up
Light up and give you a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball
But when I get her there, set her there
Do I get to pet her there?
Grab me some glow
Well she's a gad about, mad about luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I latch onto 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 morning)
