Music by Paul Lincke

Popular Lyric
GLOW LITTLE GLOW-WORM, FLY OF FIRE,
GLOW LIKE AN INCANDESCENT WIRE,
GLOW FOR THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIE,
TURN ON THE A. C. AND THE D. C.
THIS NIGHT COULD USE A LITTLE BRIGHTNIN’
LIGHT UP, YOU LI’L OL’ BUG OF LIGHTNIN’,
WHEN YOU GOTTA GLOW, YOU GOTTA GLOW,
GLOW LITTLE GLOW-WORM, GLOW!
GLOW, LITTLE GLOW-WORM, GLOW AND GLIMMER,
SWIM THRU THE SEA OF NIGHT, LITTLE SWIMMER,
THOU AERONAUTICAL BOLL WEEVIL,
ILLUMINATE YON WOODS PRIMEVAL,
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!
GLOW, LITTLE GLOW-WORM, TURN THE KEY ON,
YOU ARE EQUIPPED WITH TAIL-LIGHT NEON,
YOU GOT A CUTE VEST POCKET MAZDA**,
WHICH YOU CAN MAKE BOTH SLOW OR “FAZDA”,
I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU TOOK A SHINE TO,
OR WHO YOU’RE OUT TO MAKE A SIGN TO,
I GOT A GAL THAT I LOVE SO,
GLOW, LITTLE GLOW-WORM,
PUT ON A SHOW, WORM,
GLOW, LITTLE GLOW-WORM GLOW!
Original Lyric, One Chorus
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,
SHINE, LITTLE GLOW-WORM, GLIMMER, GLIMMER,
SHINE, LITTLE GLOW-WORM, GLIMMER, GLIMMER,
LIGHT THE PATH, BELOW, ABOVE,
AND LEAD US ON TO LOVE!
