Continental Drift
In the year of 1910 there was a scientist
Whose name was Alfred Wegener
He noticed that the continents looked just like
Pieces of a broken puzzle
By 1915 he called it Continental Drift
It caused a rift
With his fellow scientists, who sang
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy man
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy little man
They reminded him he had no proof
For how or why the continents could do this
And until you show just how or why
You merely have one interesting hypothesis
Until this evidence we see
You don't have a theory
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy man
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy little man
In the year of 1930
On an expedition to Greenland
Wegener got caught in a blizzard
When they finally found him
It was much, oh much too late
And they buried him in an icy mausoleum
30 years after he died
A new idea came to light
Plate Tectonics, Plate Tectonics
It changed the way geologists saw the world
And brought Continental Drift back to life
Now everybody sings
Yee-haw, Alfred Wegener
You are a brilliant man
Yee-haw, Alfred Wegener
You are a brilliant, brilliant man
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's brilliant theory
Whose name was Alfred Wegener
He noticed that the continents looked just like
Pieces of a broken puzzle
By 1915 he called it Continental Drift
It caused a rift
With his fellow scientists, who sang
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy man
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy little man
They reminded him he had no proof
For how or why the continents could do this
And until you show just how or why
You merely have one interesting hypothesis
Until this evidence we see
You don't have a theory
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy man
Ha, ha, Alfred Wegener
You are a crazy little man

And brought Continental Drift back to life
Now everybody sings
Yee-haw, Alfred Wegener
You are a brilliant man
Yee-haw, Alfred Wegener
You are a brilliant, brilliant man
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's theory
Continental Drift
Alfred Wegener's brilliant theory
