lyrics

Carrie Moonbeams was a firefly
Carrie Moonbeams never wondered why
The urge would come in summer to wander all about
Or why her bulb would pulsate when the lights went out
A gal of little intellect they say
She never saw my net coming her way
A cosmopolitan socialite
She flittered near and far
Till I brought Carrie Moonbeams home in a jar

Carrie Moonbeams was a love of mine
I thought we'd be together for all time
But you can't catch a star and keep it for your own
You can't freeze the wind and turn it into stone
A summer breeze reclaims its native souls
She'll only live so long even with holes
My dreams were once in sight
But I lost them all that night
That I brought Carrie Moonbeams home in a jar

Go it while you're young my merry lad
The world is yours, there's pleasure to be had
Just get a bobtailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Get out under the moon and sow your wild seed
But here's the thing, if love's your enterprise
There's one truth that you must recognize
By the stars that shine above
You can't own the ones you love
Don't bring Carrie Moonbeams home in a jar

By the stars that shine above
You can't own the ones you love
Don't bring Carrie Moonbeams home in a jar
