LYRICS:
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!
“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 to char them first, he learned,
To make them glow but not get burned.
Grasses, reeds, and weeds galore!
He tried six thousand kinds, and more!
He had some luck with cotton thread,
But then he tried bamboo instead.
It filled the room with dazzling rays!
What’s more, it lasted fifty days!
And now, the light bulb’s golden glare
Is seen in houses everywhere!
New York and London! France! Brazil!
The bulbs keep getting better still!
They light the night when day is done,
All thanks to Thomas Edison!
