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 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 on to 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 moonglow

Want none of that noon glow

Start to glitter

When the sun goes down

Bout 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

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 to 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'
