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...

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
