lyrics

Flying through the heavens, looking down upon the ground
Early morning quiet still surrounds
I see a spot so wonderful where I can sing my song
A wire plenty tight and plenty strong

Electricity, electra-city, elec-trocity
The only thing to make me fly away at such velocities
Punished for my courage, for my curiosity
Shocked, appalled by this most unexpected new atrocity

Day has broken; sunbeams scorch my wings and burn my tail
I’m scouring for shade to no avail
All I want to do is rest, relax and sing a tune
That’s maybe half as pretty as the view
To be free from electricity, from electrocity
To find a place that’s free of animated animosity

Evening and the sun is sinking lower in the West
Promising at least a moment’s rest
I see a spot so wonderful where I can sing my song
A wire plenty tight and plenty strong

Electricity, electra-city, elec-trocity
The only thing to make me fly away at such velocities
Punished for my courage for my curiosity
Shocked but not appalled by this expected old atrocity
