In the garden of Eden
The black snake talked to Eve
He said taste a big apple
It won't give you any grief
She said

No, It ain't mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise

Every boy and girl
Ask their mom and dad
About a place here on earth
Where little Eve once said

No, It ain't mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise

And the sun went down
In that world of light
And the sun went down
In that world of light
And the sun went down
In that world of light

In the garden of Eden
The black snake talked to Eve
He said taste a big apple
It won't give you any grief
She said

No, It ain't mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
