Your Pickle Glows At Night by Amos
(Tune: The Rising of the Moon)


"Is it really incandescence, that makes you burn like that?
Or a kind of phosphorence, in the water from your tap?
Do ye think that it's genetic? For it really is a fright
Yes it's really quite alarming, when your pickle glows at night"!

Chorus:
When your pickle glows at night, when your pickle glows at night!
Yes, it's really quite alarming when your pickle glows at night!

"Hushabye, me little colleen, and calm yer fearfful breast!
Tho' it's true my trusty pickle is quite different from the rest
It's the pure electric energy, whenever you're in sight
That wakens up the veggies, 'n makes my pickle glow at night "

So with gentle words, all smiling, he sought to make her calm
'Twas the first night since their wedding, , and he had not known her long!
As she slowly learned to trust him, she learned it was all right
And her fears they were ungrounded, when the pickle glowed at night!

Chorus:
When your pickle glows at night, when your pickle glows at night
Tho' it still seems quite unusu'l that your pickle glows at night!

By this time a year has passed by, the lass has changed her tune!
And often asks him to reveal, the "Rising of the Moon"!
Now she thinks she's quite the lucky one, and calls it a delight
When Handsome Jack comes home again, and the pickle glows at night!

Chorus:
When your pickle glows at night, when your pickle glows at night!
It's such a wondrous feelin' when your pickle glows at night!
