It's Christmas time, a time to remember,
A man who gave his wisdom to the world,
He never gave sermons on the mount but he gave Christmas lectures,
Made accessible to every little boy and girl.
The Christmas message that you bring,
Touched me more than Jesus or the Queen's,
'Cos Jesus only saved our souls,
But you gave science to the young and old,
And the Queen's speech is just dull.
Michael Faraday, you blew them all away,
With your presentations for the kids at the Institution,
You spoke scientifically, with such simplicity,
You drew them magnetically with your electricity.
It's Christmas time, the Christmas lights are on the tree,
And each one burns as a testament to you,
'Cos you showed us the way, the way to generate electricity,
With a coil of wire and a magnet moving through.
The Christmas message that you bring,
Touched me more than Jesus or the Queen's,
'Cos Jesus only saved our souls,
But you kind of invented rock n'roll,
'Cos a microphone works like a dynamo,
And the Queen's speech is just dull.
Chorus
You may have never done a miracle like turning water into wine,
But you developed electrolysis that makes chlorine out of brine,
And that's more useful anytime.
The Christmas message that you bring,
Touched me more than Jesus or the Queen's,
'Cos Jesus only saved our souls,
But you save people in the actual world,
Because the chemicals that you make possible,
Are in pharmaceutical,
And the Queen's speech is just dull.
