Have you ever seen a firefly?

Have you ever seen a firefly, Firefly, firefly?

Have you seen a car in the dark, Like a car, like a car?

Have you ever caught a firefly, Firefly, firefly?

Did you put it in a jar,

The jar, Jar?

Have you ever released a firefly, Firefly, firefly?

You released him from his jar,

The jar, Jar?
