Benjamin Franklin

Music: Billy Siegel. Lyrics: Yosi Levin

When it’s cold out & you’re shivering just turn the furnace up

Then it gets dark. You can’t see a thing just flip the light switch on

There’s a man you want to thank for that with a kite flying in the sky

And a key tied to the string

He’s one truly awesome guy

When it’s storming you don’t have to fear

Your house has a lightning rod

And you’re reading a book

That was printed on a printing press

Which he had invented along with the lending library

The fire department

He even signed the Declaration for our Liberty

Benjamin Franklin!

A founding father & one truly awesome guy

A-ha you must be wise

Remember early to bed & early to rise

Politician, Mathematician

Scientist, Inventor

There’s a man you want to think about when you’re turning on the lights

And you’ve got some really big idea better write it down just like

Benjamin Franklin!

A statesmen & a founding father

There’s a man you want to think about

When you’re working around your house

And you’ve got some really cool idea

Please share with all of us

There’s a man you want to thank for that

With a kite flying in the sky

And a key tied to the string

He’s the one & only…

Benjamin Franklin!

A founding father & one truly awesome guy

Inventor, satirist, author

Political theorist, post master,

Civic activist, a noted polymath
