Lyrics[]

Energy, sometimes I think I'm runnin' out
Of energy, seems like we use an awful lot
For heatin' and lightin' and drivin'
Readin' and writin' and jivin'
Energy, you'd think we'd be savin' it up

Energy, you can get it by dammin' up a river
Energy, a windmill can make the breeze deliver
But even with millin' and dammin'
Our needs are so much more demandin'
For energy, we have to use some kind of fuel

Chop, chop, chop
The cavemen used wood to start their fires
Chop, chop, chop
They made all the tools that they required
Chop, chop, chop
Inventions got more and more inspired
The fires got higher and higher
And clearings got wider and wider
Energy, they were burnin' 'bout all their wood up

Then one day, men discovered that coal would do it better
Miners dug, and it looked like it might just last forever
It seemed like the final solution
It started the Industrial Revolution
Energy, we could just keep on diggin' it up

Now in 1859, way out in western Pennsylvania
A man had built a rig that got some laughs from folks who came there
But suddenly, a mighty roar came up from under the ground
And soon a gusher, gushin' oil, soaked all who stood around
Now no one knew, when that gusher blew,
The petroleum years were on us,
Or that so many cars and trucks would come to cause a crisis

Energy, we're looking to try and find some new kinds
Energy, exploring to try and make a new find
Nuclear and thermal and solar
If we miss, we'll get colder and colder
Energy, we've gotta stop usin' you up

So don't be cross when mama says turn that extra light out
Just turn it off till we find us a fuel that never runs out
If everyone tries a bit harder,
Our fuel will go farther and farther
Energy, we're gonna be stretchin' you out!
