| Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire |
| Glow like an incandescent wire |
| Glow for the female of the species |
| Turn on the AC and the DC |
| This night could use a little brightnin' |
| Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin' |
| When you gotta glow, you gotta glow |
| Glow little glow-worm, glow |
| Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer |
| Swim through 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 taillight neon |
| You got a cute vest-pocket *Mazda* |
| Which you can make both slow and faster |
| I don't know who you took the shine to |
| Or who you're out to make a sign to |
| I got a gal that I love so |
