Forbidden Fruit

Lyrics

Eve and Adam had a garden everything was great
 Till 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
 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 let that apple be
 But Eve got tempted so she tried it and as all chicks do
 Teaser her man till 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 to add
 And when they made a full confession the Lord said hm 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're all indebted now you gonna get it
 ♪
 The Lord made Eve 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
 It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
 It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
 Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it
 Oh go ahead and bite it I bet you'd be delighted
 You always did it now you'll gonna get it
 Forbidden fruit
