Fly little firefly, fly, fly.
Soar through the sky as the dusk awaits you,
Nocturnal insect, a creature of the night.
Flashing your light and sparking new friendships.
Glow little firefly, glow, glow,
Put on your light show for us tonight!
Oh, how you know how to twinkle and glimmer,
Making dark nights prettier!
Dance, little firefly, dance, dance,
You look like sprinkles of glitter,
Creating evenings full of glamour and magic!
Flicker, flicker little firefly,
All that twinkling and blinking!
Making chemical reactions,
Like nature’s neon lights!
Shine, shine little firefly,
Find your way with your light.
Oh, how you dazzle in the night,
Like a beautiful explosion of fireworks!
Glow, glow little firefly!
How you shimmer and glimmer,
You make the darkest of nights sparkle so bright!
Twinkle, twinkle little firefly,
Like the stars in the galaxy.
Like the moon all aglow.
Like gleaming crystals reflecting light!
Flashing, flashing all through the night.
Gleam, gleam little firefly,
Oh, how mesmerizing,
How spectacular you truly are!
