Solar Power to the People



Solar Power to the People is a Schoolhouse Rock! Earth song starring Interplanet Janet.

Lyrics
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a UFO. It's Interplanet Janet. There she goes

Interplanet Janet took a trip to the shore So many things that Janet hadn't seen before The sun was shining down, the water felt so warm That's when Interplanet Janet's plan was born She said: All those rays coming down for free Heat the water and the air with their energy A little light went on; She gave a little cheer YAY! Solar power to the people, what a bright idea

Wrote a message on the sand with her tiny toes Solar power to the people; There she goes Sun can do a whole lot more than make you tan Sun can run a speedboat, sun can turn a fan Think of all the power high up in the blue Really is amazing what a bright idea or two can do Ooh-ooh

Janet flew to Hollywood to meet some stars But all that she could see were about a million cars Imagine solar cars and if it came to pass Think how we'd be saving gas All those rays coming down for free Can be stored in a solar battery So when it's raining never fear We'd still get from there to here And the air would be more clear Solar power to the people, what a bright idea

Sun can run an engine save a lot of fuel Sun can heat a heart-shaped swimming pool Garden in the winter, cook a summer stew Really is amazing what a bright idea or two can do

The sun is a source of heat, lighting and electricity that's free and always there. And those solar panels produce energy without emitting the pollution that causes Global warming.

We could light a building, we could run a bus Think of what the sun could do for us Run a calculator, heat a little zoo Isn't it amazing what a bright idea or two can do? Ooh-ooh

Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl A solar-system Ms. from a future world She travels like a rocket with her comet team And Janet's got a plan to keep our planet green Oh, the future's very near Solar power to the people, what a bright idea Solar power to the people, what a bright idea
