Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eve and Adam had a garden Everything was great 'Til one day a boy says, "Pardon Miss, my name is Snake See that apple over yonder If you'll take a bite You and Adam both are bound To have some fun tonight [Chorus] "Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet, forbidden fruit It's quite a treat, forbidden fruit Go ahead and taste it You don't wanna waste it" [Verse 2] The Lord has 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 all chicks do Teased her man 'til he decided He'd just try some too [Chorus] Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet, forbidden fruit It's quite a treat, forbidden fruit Go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted [Verse 3] I hate to tell you all what followed The Lord was most upset Saw them making love and hollered "What have you two ate?" And when they made a full confession The Lord says, "Hmm, I see I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson About not minding me" [Chorus] Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet, forbidden fruit It's quite a treat, forbidden fruit You all went and did it Now you're gonna get it [Verse 4] The Lord made Eve be Adam's madam Have his kids and all Placed some labor 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 [Chorus] Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's quite a treat, forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet, forbidden fruit Go ahead and taste it You don't wanna waste it Oh, go on and bite it I bet you'd be delighted You all went and did it Now you're gonna get it Forbidden fruit
