Go Ahead And Bite It, I Bet You’ll Be Delighted

I know I said I wasn't going to post anything this week, but I've changed my mind. I have a post I'm working on that I'll put up later this morning. If you need something to read in the meantime, here's your daily lyrics dosage. I promise they are happier than the ones from yesterday :)

"Forbidden Fruit"

Eve and Adam had a garden.
Everything was jake.
Till one day a voice 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,
Teased 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’ll 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 et?
And when they made a full confession, the lord said hmmm 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 all went and did it, now you’re gonna get it.

The Lord made Eve Adam’s madam, have his kids and all.
Placed some labor laws on Adam and he made the snake to crawl.
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’ll be delighted.
You all went and did it, now you’re gonna get it.
Forbidden fruit
