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 can taste his glory
All of the people say
You be the man to write his story 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
You be the man to write his story
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
All of his world can hear his story Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
Edison came to stay
