I go outside with my lantern I go outside with my lantern, my lantern goes with me Above the stars are shining bright,

down here on Earth shine we. The cock does crow, the cat meows, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom. Neath heavens dome till we go home, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom. I go outside with my lantern, my lantern goes with me Above the stars are shining bright, down here on Earth shine we. So shine your light through the still dark night, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom Neath heavens dome till we go home, la bimmel, la bammel, la boom.

My lantern! My lantern! My lantern! My lantern! Sun and moon and stars Put out all your lights Put out all your lights That my lantern can truly shine bright. alt version: My Lantern, My Lantern Shining near and far Shining like the moon Shining like the sun Shining like a silver star My Lantern, My Lantern
