Lyrics Electricity - The Avalanches

Electricity

Performed by: Zachary Sanders
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.
Electricity, Electricity.
