Well, [E7] Eve told Adam [Edim] Snakes? I've had 'em! [Am] Let's get outta [E7] here!
Go [B7] raise this family someplace outta [E7] town. [B7]
They [E7] left the garden [Edim] just in time with the [Am] landlord cussin' [E7] right behind.
They [B7] headed East, and they finally settled [E7] down.
One [A] thing led to another: a bunch of [E7] sons, one killed his brother
And they [F#7] kicked him out with nothin' but his [B7] clothes.
[E7] And the human [Edim] race survived 'cause all those [Am] brothers found [E7] wives
But [B7] where they came from ain't nobody [E7] knows.

Then [E7] came the flood, go [Edim] figure; just like [Am] New Orleans only bigger.
No[B7]one who couldn't swim would make it [E7] through. [B7]
The [E7] lucky ones were [Edim] on a boat; think [Am]"circus" and then [E7]make it float
And [B7] hope nobody pulls the plug on [E7] you!
How they [A] fed that crowd is a mystery; it [E7] ain't down in the history,
But it's a [F#7] cinch they didn't live on cakes and [B7] jam.
[E7] Lions don't eat [Edim] cabbage and in [Am] spite of that old [E7] adage,
You will [B7] never seen one lie down with a [E7] lamb.

Well, [E7] Charlie Darwin [Edim] looked so far [Am] into the [E7] way things are.
He [B7] caught a glimpse of God's unfolding [E7] plan. [B7]
[E7] God said: "I'll make some [Edim] DNA; they can [Am] use it any [E7] way they want
From [B7] paramecium right up to [E7] man."
[A7] "They'll have sex and mixed up sections of their [E7] code
They'll have mutations; the [F#7] whole thing works like clockwork over [B7] time."
"I'll just [E7] sit back in the [Edim] shade while [Am] everyone gets [E7] laid.
That's[B7]what I call intelligent de[E7]sign."

Yeah, [A7] you and your cat named Felix, both [E7] wrapped up in that [F#7] double helix,
Is [B7] what we call intelligent de[E7]sign.
