StoryBots - Thomas Edison lyrics

Artist: StoryBots

album: Ask The StoryBots: Season 2 (Music From The Original Series)


Thomas Edison
One gloomy night, in Menlo Park
Tom Edison said, "Gee, it's dark"
But then he had a brilliant thought
Electric lights would help a lot
Now others too had tried their best
To build a bulb that passed the test,
And yet their light would never last
The glowing part burned out too fast!
Thomas Edison
"I see," Said Tom, "I must invent
A better stronger filament"
At first he tried some metal wire
Which melted, broke or caught on fire
So next he tested strips of wood
And every single plant he could
He had them to char them first, he learned,
To make them glow but not get burned
Thomas Edison
Grasses, reeds, and weeds galore!
He tried 6,000 kinds, and more!
He had some luck with cotton thread
But then he try bamboo instead
It filled the room with dazzling rays
What's more, it lasted 50 days!
And now, the light's golden glare
Is seen in houses everywhere!
New York and London! France! Brazil!
They light the night when the day is done,
All thanks to Thomas Edison
