What a fame, what a fame,
what an aim, what an aim,
to live for mankind
to give for mankind
all the joys of living,
all he's got he's giving,
work away, work away,
night and day, never play,
yet thoughtful and kind
If America needed
a king on a throne
Mister Edison sits
on a throne of his own.

Oh say can you see
by the light that he gives you and me
what a man he is,
what a grand old "WIZ"
moping, groping in the dark,
without him we would be,
there's a light tonight that's shining
it's his light so bright that's shining
o'er the land of the free,
and the lands o'er the sea,
Oh the lights the way
Mister Thomas A.
Edison miracle man.

Oh say can you see
by the light that he gives you and me
what a man he is,
what a grand old "WIZ"
moping, groping in the dark,
without him we would be,
there's a light tonight that's shining
it's his light so bright that's shining
o'er the land of the free,
and the lands o'er the sea,
Oh the lights the way
Mister Thomas A.
Edison miracle man.

Man of grit, man of grit,
stick to it, never quit,
a real son of toil
that no fame can spoil
Yankees all applaud him,
other nations laud him,
wears a smile, all the while
rank and file, know his style,
a man of the soil
there were Edison monuments
built from the start
there's an Edison monument
bult in each heart.

Oh say can you see
by the light that he gives you and me
what a man he is,
what a grand old "WIZ"
moping, groping in the dark,
without him we would be,
there's a light tonight that's shining
it's his light so bright that's shining
o'er the land of the free,
and the lands o'er the sea,
Oh the lights the way
Mister Thomas A.
Edison miracle man.

Oh say can you see
by the light that he gives you and me
what a man he is,
what a grand old "WIZ"
moping, groping in the dark,
without him we would be,
there's a light tonight that's shining
it's his light so bright that's shining
o'er the land of the free,
and the lands o'er the sea,
Oh the lights the way
Mister Thomas A.
Edison miracle man.
