I don’t need gas
I don’t need oil
I got the sun to make my water boil
The Sun’s working hard, working hard today
The Sun’s working hard today

The Sun can charge up my batteries,
dry my clothes, cook my beans
The Sun’s working hard but he doesn’t complain
The Sun’s working hard today

I don’t need coal no natural gas
I got the Wind giving a blast
The Wind’s working hard, working hard today
The Wind’s working hard today

The Wind turns the turbines round and round
Sends that energy all over town
The Wind’s working hard but she doesn’t complain
The Wind’s working hard today

There’s energy out there all around
You don’t have to dig a deep hole in the ground
Smashing atoms into smithereens
That kind of energy just ain’t clean

You don’t need cars no fossil fuel
You can ride your bike to school
Where you’re working hard working hard today
You’re working hard today

So ride your bike, take a hike, jog or waltz or fly a kite
You can take it easy that’s okay
You been working hard today ay-hey
The Wind’s working hard today –
The Sun’s working hard today.

Hey guys – just so you know.
I’m putting my money where my mouth is.
I’m signed up on the Austin Green Energy Program
and I drive a bio-diesel powered car.
