Glow-Worm...music by Paul Linkce(1902) (new lyric)1952 by Johnny Mercer... original title: "Gluhwurmchen"....

Big hit for both Johnny Mercer(as a vocalist) and the Mills Bros.

___________

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 through the sea of night, little swimmer, Thou aer-o-nau-tic-al boll weevil, Il-lu-mi-nate 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, glow.
