God looked around He didn't see nothin' Said, "Well shucks, let there be light" So up come the sun Bright as all get-out And then he split it up into day and night God looked around Wasn't much to look at So he fabricated the heavens and earth So now there's solid ground Divvied up by waters He said, "Well, there it is, for what it's worth" He gave wings to birds Ao they'd fly in the air And legs for critters walkin' on the ground Allocated fish to the water And beasts to the fields And creeping things to crawl around God looked around He didn't see no one He reached down and he picked up some dust Then he spit on it And he kneaded it like bread dough And a man rose up full-grown as such God looked at the man He saw that he was lonely Said, "Go to sleep, I guess I ain't done" He pried out one of his ribs And he slapped some hide around it There was two now where once there's one He gave it some curves And lips red a cherries And ravishing curly raven hair Well the man, he woke up And he looked at the woman He said, "Whoa Lord, you done answered my prayers" Now things was righteous When a snake walked up Said "Hey woman, take a bite of this "You'll be smart as God "And you'll live forever "You'll be foolish to resist" The woman said "Uh-uh "I don't eat from that tree "Those was God's very own words" Oh, but the snake sweet-talked her And she took a bite And the she realized she's naked as a jaybird The woman went to the man And he took a taste "Well I'm undraped" he proclaimed And they heard God a-comin' So they went and hid 'Course they was naked and ashamed Well, God found 'em Said, "You ate forbidden fruit" The woman cried "The snake duped me, I was tempted" God said "I told you not to "And since you disobeyed "Your time here in paradise is ended" So God cast 'em out Dooming us all to die That's why it's the way it is And God said to the snake "You done walkin' and talkin'" That's why to this day they slither and hiss
