The Glow‐Worm (Johnny Mercer version)
~ Song
Annotation
"... originally translated into English by Lilla Cayley Robinson, in the early 20th century, the song was used in the 1907 Broadway musical The Girl Behind the Counter.
Mercer later expanded and greatly revised Robinson's lyrics, for the 1952 recording by the Mills Brothers. His version was a hit for the Mills Brothers, and it has been performed by several others. The tune is also quite popular as an orchestral instrumental."
