	"All Around the World, Plate Tectonics"
	It began with an explosion... Who lit the fuse, we could argue about all night. Matter whirled and twirled and formed into spheres, And one of them spheres we're sitting on tonight. All around the world, plate tectonics -- TECTONICS! Tectonics that has shaped the earth so well -- So What! So by my star, this is what we've learned so far, Geology class can be as hard as hell... P is for Paleozoic -- my favorite epoch. L is for Lava -- and not basalt. A is for All them gosh-darned study groups (that Ryan was going to just mention). T is for Trench. and E is for EROGENY! All around the world, plate tectonics -- TECTONICS! Tectonics that has shaped the earth so well -- So What! So by my star, this is what we've learned so far, Geology class can be as hard as hell... Nigel Calder, look at what you've done to me. I'm not the same man I was before. You've filled me full of lists and schists and mountain chains, And now I've turned into a damn hard core. And so it's All around the world, plate tectonics -- TECTONICS! Tectonics that has shaped the earth so well -- So What! So by my star, this is what we've learned so far, Geology class can be as hard as hell... B is for Basalt, the word we're going to spell. A is for the grade, I needed to get. S is for the schist that we put up with. L is for Lecture A is for Achaean, that comes before Lecture. and T is for TECTONICS! All around the world, plate tectonics -- TECTONICS! Tectonics that has shaped the earth so well -- So What! So by my star, this is what we've learned so far, Geology class can be as hard as hell... Dear ma and pa, I'm learning all about the world. 'Bout islands growing and oceans closing, to... And Bob, he really takes his class so seriously, But me, I'm really glad the class is through! All around the world, plate tectonics -- TECTONICS! Tectonics that has shaped the earth so well -- So What! So by my star, this is what we've learned so far, Geology class can be as hard as hell... So, it's Nigel Calder, you can go to hell!
