Mr. Parr - Wegener Was His Name lyrics

Alfred Wegener was his name
Continental drift he explained
Fossils match up, climate has changed
Landforms they fit that way

Called it Pangaea which means all lands
Scientists don’t give him love
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon
Reaching out to prove with evidence

No matter where they go
He knows the plates once close

Alfred Wegener was his name
Continental drift he explained
Fossils match up, climate has changed
Landforms they fit that way

Found along the ridge the proof was there
Molten rock was there you see
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon
New and younger rock is seeping there
So now, seafloor spreading takes a while
Now you know, Harry Hess had this idea

Molten material
The stripes, and drill samples

Alfred Wegener was his name
Continental drift he explained
Fossils match up, climate has changed
Landforms they fit that way

And Wegener knew all along
The continents keep moving on
Now Wilson’s theory includes it all
Driven, plate tectonics – motion
Subduction, formation

Alfred Wegener was his name
Continental drift he explained
Fossils match up, climate has changed
Landforms they fit
Landforms they fit that way
Continental drift he explained
Fossils match up, climate has changed
Landforms they fit that way

Alfred Wegener was his name
