Electricity - The Avalanches

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.
