I’m an energy detective looking for the clues
Trying to put an end to electricity abuse
Here and there and everywhere I listen for that hum
Electrical appliances: I catch them on the run
The computer and the printer, television and the DVD:
They’re glowing bright all through the night, wasting energy
I caught my dad red handed with the fridge door left agape
While he was looking for his food the cold air had escaped
When I go to the fridge I’m a sneaky private eye
I think ahead, and I’m in and out so fast the cold air stays inside
Can you hear that steamy hiss? Someone’s in the shower
It’s time to do a stakeout. They’ve been in there for half an hour
The hot water heater working overtime - Let’s give that thing a break
I holler through the bathroom door: Get out for goodness sake!
You can be an energy detective. Look out for the clues
Just try and put an end to electricity abuse
Electricity abuse, electricity abuse
