He made electric lights to read
He gave us light today
He gave us cylinders to please
When Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay

Edison set the world on fire
He really made the day
Station to station many wires
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay

Oh, how, look at us now, we've still got a lot to learn
But it's someone else's turn
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay

All of the world could feel his glory, all of the music play
You be the man to write his story, 'cause
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay

Oh, how, look at us now, we've still got a lot to learn
But it's someone else's turn
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
He made electric lights to read, he gave us light today
He gave us cylinders to please, when Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay

He made electric lights to read, he gave us light today
He gave us cylinders to please, when Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay

You be the man to write his story, 'cause Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay
Edison's here to stay

He is a bloody pain in the neck to me, that man
