Modern words by Johnny Mercer
                                     
Recorded by The Mills Brothers, 1952
A                                         Bm7-5     E7 
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer            

Bm7-5         E7                  A9             A 
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer         

D9          D7         E7                      A                     
Lead us lest too far we wander love's sweet voice is calling yonder;

A                                         Bm7-5    E7 
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer           

Bm7-5       E7             A9            A 
Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer      

A               A7           D9       Bm7          E           E7      A 
Light the path be-low, a-bove and lead us on to love!                  

                                   
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 *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,

Bm7-5         E7         A  Gdim 
Glow little glow-worm, glow,

Bm7-5         E7         A  Gdim 
Glow little glow-worm, glow,

Bm7-5         E7         A  D9  A6 
Glow little glow-worm, glow.
