Verse:

In a world that's lost dimension
And is fraught with apprehension,
And the future is as pregnant as they say;
In the midst of consternation,
It's a woman's obligation
To her man and to the nation
To be gay, so;

Chorus:

Light up, keep it bright!
When the man and the moment and the night is right.
Know it, show it!
Be fluorescent when the moon is crescent.
Light up, show the way!
Don't let him fumble on that final play.
Ignite him, delight him!
A fluttery, flighty, Aphrodite
Is left alone in her flimsy nightie.
So light up, show a glow!
The boy may be willing, still he likes to know.
Men ain't bright, show a light,
Date him, bait him,
Illuminate him!
Light up, scintillate!
That's the word with a meaning you can demonstrate.
Light up, show a glow,
Keep it bright or he'll never know.
