Subject: RE: Songs from the Garden of Eden
Bob Coltman paraphrased Oscar Brown Jr.'s FORBIDDEN FRUIT. Here are the lyrics:
               Forbidden Fruit

Eve and adam had a garden everything was Jake
Till one day a voice says,"Pardon, Miss my name is snake.
See that apple over yonder if youll take a bite
You and Adam both are bound to have some fun tonight
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
Its mighty sweet forbidden fruit
Its quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you dont wanna waste it

The Lord had said in the beginning,"Everything is free
Except that apple that leads to sinning so let that apple be."
But Eve got tempted so she tried it and as chicks will do
Teased her man till he decided he'd just try some too
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
Its mighty sweet forbidden fruit
Its quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and bite it I bet youd be delighted

I hate to tell you all what followed, Lord was most upset
Saw them making love and he hollered,"What the hell have you two et?"
And when they made a full confession the Lord said,"Hm I see
I guess I'll have to teach a lesson about not minding me.
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
Its mighty sweet forbidden fruit
Its quite a treat forbidden fruit
Youre all went and did it, now you gonna get it

The Lord made Eve be Adam's madam have his kids and all
Placed some labour laws on adam and he made the snake to fall
Ever since the days of Eden folks been sinful my
Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
Its mighty sweet forbidden fruit
Its quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you dont wanna waste it
Oh go ahead and bite it, bet you'll be delighted
You all went and did it now youll gonna get it
Forbidden fruit
