||Johnny Mercer?||
I have a recording of this song from 1908 with English lyrics that are similar but not identical to the Mills Brothers'. This was a year before Johnny Mercer was born. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.25.94 (talk) 04:22, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Different Lyrics mystery
My grandmother use to sing this song to my sister and me when we were kids. She had a very different parody type version of the glow worm song. "Down by the river, glimmer-glimmer, I see a woman shimmer-shimmer, curlers in her hair and her teeth lopsided...ruffles on her petticoat swaying in the breezes, sounds like sandpaper on her kneezes...these are the things that a woman can do..TO Make a MAN come home!"....(without a shirt...good evening John)..... I don't know if she just made these separate lyrics up but I imagine not. Does anyone know where she might have heard this version?
