Now who told Adam it was safe
     To eat fruit from the tree?
Was it poor Eve?  Perhaps the snake?
     Well it surely wasn’t me!

​

Then who told Adam: 'Take one bite:
     Fruit is good for you'?
It must have been his better half -
     Yes, Eve. I’m sure you knew.

​

But why did Eve take all the blame
     And not put up a fight?
The snake had told her: 'Fruit is good.'
     Now don’t say that’s not right.

​

If you had been a naughty child
     And disobeyed your Dad,
Then told him: 'But a snake told me,'
     Your Dad would think you're mad!

​

'A snake?' he’d say: 'Whatever next!
     Don’t tell these lies to me!
Your story is preposterous!' -
     And I think you might agree.

​

So who’s to blame for all of this?
     Why, God is, this is true!
For everyone, but God, it seems,
     Says: 'Fruit is good for you.'
