Lyrics:
Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him Was a poet and a diplomat He put a key out on a kite Till he saw the lighten' strike But what's shocking is He did way more than that He put bifocals on our nose He made a better wood stove Made lightning rods for all the homes in Philly He helped the Declaration pass He made music out of glass Fought the British And said lots of things that were silly Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him He was the world's most industrious guy He said, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise" He was a fireman, a patriot, he was a kite flyer, He was a printer, he was a writer, He was Postmaster General, an ambassador He was a musician, a revolutionary, A humorist, he was a philosopher "He that is good for making excuses, is seldom good for anything else" "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest" "Fish and guests go bad after three days" "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle" Say, hey Benny they didn't put you on The penny Though you wrote this with your mighty quill You said, "A penny saved is a penny earned" So they put you on the hundred dollar bill That's lots of pennies!
