he''ll catch a tiny firefly in a jar
set her dancing on the mantle
like a piece of star

see how the boy lays low
he wants the shiver in her wing
see him hiding in the willow
playing with lightning

you don''t know me
I don''t know you
and the summer''s come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin''
all over Lousianne

there''s lots of fishes in the sea
I swear I''m gonna catch one in my hand
make him dance for me
in the fryin'' pan

you don''t know me
I don''t know you
and the summer''s come again
my oh my, the fish are flyin''
all over Lousianne

in your eyes there''s a light
it comes and it goes without a sound
if I hold on tight
it''s gonna burn me to the ground

you don''t know me
I don''t know you
and the summer''s come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin''
all over Lousianne
our lives go by like sparks are flyin''
all over Lousianne
