My dearest father, king of fireflies far and wide
has given I, his daughter princess firefly
A very special place, a floating pink castle, sigh
This castle is beautiful, more than I've ever seen
Father always pleases me, father loves me so
Once father gave me a mountain of solid gold
This castle is so extravagant and simply divine,
such a heavenly fragrance surrounds I sigh
Giving all my friends and I a wonderful high
Tonight, my lovely pink castle we shall light
we shall drink our wine and laugh with delight
So if suitors come ask father's permission
"May thy lovely firefly princess be my wife?"
I shall request of each suitor with a smile,
"Yes, the first one bringing us a slice of fire"
So goddess of evening has finally arrived
Enchants and from a crescent moon alights
And stars stun, such a spectacular sight
And here cometh my many suitors all in a line
Dragonflies, cicadas, honeybees and fireflies,
Wasps, Bumblebees, beetles, and butterflies
They've inquired of my father for my hand
Father extends to each my challenge dare,
And there they go searching across the land
