Tell me, little lightning bug
lighting up the night
tell me how you make yourself
burn so long and bright
Tell me little lghtning bug
fluttering by the trees
does your little light go out
when comes a gentle breeze
And where does it disappear to
when comes the morning sun
do you hide it neath your wings
till the morning comes
Tell me pretty lightning bug
would you light a path for me
when I'm walking in the dark
so that I can see
Oh, if I could only catch you
I'd give you such a hug
I fear that I would squish you
you little lighning bug
