"Forbidden Fruit" lyrics

Eve and Adam had a garden
Everything was great
'Til one day a boy said, "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

"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"

The Lord had said, "In the beginning
Everything is free
Except that apple that leads to sinning
So leave that apple be"
But Eve got tempted so she tried it
And as some chicks do
She teased her man 'til he decided
He'd just try some too

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

I hate to tell you all what followed
The Lord was most upset
Saw them making love and hollered
"What have you two ate?"
When they made a full confession
The Lord said, "Hmm, I see
I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson
About not minding me"

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

The Lord made Eve be Adam's madam
Have his kids and all
Laid some labor laws on Adam
And made that snake to fall
Ever since the days of Eden
Folks been sinful, my
Nowadays they're even eating
Apples in their pies

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 won't wanna waste it
Go ahead and bite it
Bet you'd be delighted
You all went and did it
Now you're gonna get it
Forbidden fruit
