Well paradise was full of birds and bees
And elephants with long trunks
Tucked up their sleeves
And God said, look who's that man Eve
And she said - I don't know him from Adam
Now Eve, I thought I told you not to mess around with boys
You know you will break my equipment
These men are not toys
I have already given you several models named Steve
So who's this one Eve?
And Eve said I don't know him from Adam
But Eve said, this one's different, I can feel it in my bones
For now I've set the ball rolling, it's like a rolling stone
And please stop this cajolling, insistent tone
God said do you still believe in me Eve?
Eve said, well I don't know you from Adam
Just then a snake slithered down from up in the leaves
Eve thought he was a rope so gave him a heave
Hey kid quit pulling me down, what are ya tryin to achieve?
Eve said oh you must be new in town, because I don't know you from Adam
Well if that's how you treat a stranger, I think I'll get myself lost
I can see a three leafed clover, there's a manger and a holy ghost
Perhaps if I went in, they might give me a warmer toast
Eve said I doubt it unless you can shed your skin,
They don't know you from Adam
And Adam said to God, I don't know if I really know myself
God said here's a mirror, look within you'll find I am your twin
And so they embraced, like long lost cousins, and Adam got a lump in his throat
And God got a pain in his neck, and before you could say paradise
Eve appeared with an apple
Now I'm willin' to marry a twin, you don't have to ask me twice
But before we tie the ribbon, I think it would be nice
If you can introduce him, the one with the snake eyes
And God said I would but I don't know him from Adam
