Well... this is what I've got: (--Four lines missing--) So to pass the time while he did wait God made him a woman to be his mate So the Jehovial crew they could start to create When the Old Testament was new, my boys... Well the next to come in was Eve With a figure you wouldn't believe From what Adam could perceive Between them figgy leaves Well Adam he grinned and sat down on the ground For he knew that in time them leaves would turn brown And in that first autumn come tumbling down When the Old Testament was new, my boys... Well the next to come in was the serpent Upon creating mischief he was bent He suggested to Eve that she ferment Some sort of Jehovial brew He said from God’s apples I’m sure you could make A brew that from which all would gladly partake At our garden party all thirsts it would slake When the Old Testament was new, my boys... So that’s when they invented cider And when Eve had got some inside her She fell over and found lying beside her Was Adam who’d fallen down too Well Adam he grinned and said “This is the tops I’ll fathom the bowl right down to the slops And this’ll do fine until He creates hops” When the Old Testament was new, my boys... Then Jehovah He came in all ratty Cos their noise had been driving Him batty He jumped up and down on His hat he Weren’t too pleased with the Jehovial crew And He said to Eve “You’ve just fallen and been And invented original sin And ruined me kip with your unholy din When the Old Testament was new, my boys... So Adam was forced to leave And the next to get chucked out was Eve Oh how their poor hearts they did grieve To leave Jehovah’s back yard Then God glared at the serpent and said “You’re most to blame For that bloody racket that drove me insane Oh legless you got and thus shall remain” When the Old Testament was new, my boys... So it’s thanks to getting God’s goat That the apple still sticks in man’s throat Though it all happened in times remote That carouse of the Jehovial crew But it’s still much the same in a funny way That drinking cider takes dull care away And gives a taste o heaven but it’s hell the next day When the Old Testament was new, my boys...
