While she shines like those tiny green beetles
That you find when you lift up the rocks
She will thrive on the warmth of your people
And the effortless smiles she unlocks
We're the wall flowers who sit near the hand rails
Where we grunt out our idiot views
And we learn to ride on her coat tails
In the shade created by you
If this girl eclipses our being
Don't grumble at how this all passes
Don't sit in the shade that we're seeing
And be sure to wear your sunglasses
And the patience she saves up for worry
And respect for the darkness we show
And we can embrace melancholy
We're the men that only they know
If your girl is a natural carer
Who knows how to nurture their soul
Hold on to her with the firmest of grips
Because without her we're nothing at all
If this girl eclipses our being
Don't grumble at how this all passes
Don't sit in the shade that we're seeing
And be sure to wear your sunglasses
Let her be she's your shiny little green beetle
She's the best of all the really kind people
Shelter you she will ward off nearly all the evil
Keep her safe she's your shiny little green beetle
She's the Eve you're the Adam who will eat the apple
She's the scribe who is writing up your own fable
Keep you strong keep your feet underneath the table
Keep her near she's your shiny little green beetle
Give her love she's your shiny little green beetle
Give your all she's your shiny little green beetle
Let her be she's your shiny little green
