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 'bout 8 PM 
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, lurin'-every-lad-about 
        While leavin' me moanin' low
 
Oh, Firefly, why can't I latch on for you no how ?
Oh, how, I love ya but, gee 
While ya set the night on fire, fly 
Shine a little light on me

        While leavin' me moanin' low
 
Oh, Firefly, why can't I latch on for you no how ?
Oh, how, I love ya but, gee 
While ya set the night on fire, fly 
Shine a little light on
Shine a little light on 
Shine a little light on meeee!
