When you re in the dark and you want to see,
                         
You need uh ... Electricity,Electricity
                            
Flip that switch and what do you get?
                         
You get uh ... Electricity,Electricity
                 
Every room can now be lit
                           
With just uh ... Electricity,Electricity
                     
Where do you think it all comes from
                           
This powerful ... Electricity, Electricity
                         
Through high wires to here it comes,
                                   
They re bringing uh ... Electricity, Electricity
                  
Every building must be wired to use it,
                  
Uh ... Electricity, Electricity
                             
Power plants most all use fire to make it,
                  
Uh ... Electricity, Electricity
                 
Burnin fuel and usin  steam,
                             
They generate ... Electricity, Electricity
                      
Turn that generator by any means,
                                
You re making uh ... Electricity, Electricity

A generator is a machine that contains a powerful
magnet
     
that creates a magnetic field. When wires are
rotated rapidly
                   
through this field then a current of electricity is
 produced.
     
Now, if we only had a superhero who could stand
         
here and turn
              
the generator real fast, then we wouldn t need to
                               
burn so much fuel to make ... electricity.
                        
Benjamin Franklin flying his kite
                                 
Was searching for ... Electricity, Electricity.
                                   
He knew that it had somethin to do with lightnin ,
                           
It s all uh ... Electricity, Electricity.
                       
Rubbin  a comb with wool or fur will give you a

charge of
                    
Electricity (static) Electricity
                           
Strokin  a cat to make it purr, you re buildin  up

static
           
Electricity, Electricity

Electricity at rest is called static electricity.
                   
Like in the winter wearing a heavy coat,

You get a shock off the doorknob.
              
Or you scrape across a carpet
                
And sneak up on your very best friend,
    
And zap  im on the ear with a shock of-
           
Electricity, Electricity
                  
Current flowing to and fro, makes a circuit of
           
Electricity, Electricity.
                                 
Voltage is the pressure that makes it go.
                               
It s pushin  uh ... Electricity, Electricity ...
                        
Watts will tell you just how much

You ll be usin
                  
Uh ... Electricity, Electricity.
                         
PowerFul stuff, so watch that plug! It s potent
           
Electricity, Electricity.
