Electricity and History

[Verse 1]
Franklin made a kite with some silk and a key
To test the stormy discharge of electricity
Allesandro Volta made the battery first
And readied all the world for an invention burst
Ampere and Oersted electromagnetism found
So that Faraday with transformer could leap and bound

[Verse 2]
Tesla, what a guy, made a Tesla Coil
To transmit energy and make your water boil
60K frequency's a safer wave
But the noise sent the coil to an early grave
Now they use it sending waves of radio
Think of Tesla when you hear my song in stereo

[Verse 3]
Edison gave the world the incandescent ball
Envisioned direct current to light us all
But Tesla's alternating current saved the day
Vacuum's good for bulbs, but in work won't pay
Phonograph and moving pictures, telegraph too
All made Edison better than me and you
