Jerry Bock - The Diary of Adam and Eve: The Apple Tree (Forbidden Fruit) lyrics

Artist: Jerry Bock

album: The Apple Tree (Original Broadway Cast Recording)


Listen
Closely
Let me fill you in
About the rich ripe round red rosy apples
They call forbidden fruit
What I'm about to say is confidential
So promise you'll be mute
Because if every creature in the garden knows
They'll come 'round like hungry buffalos
And in no time, there'll be none of those precious
Apples
Left for you and me
Now in the average apple
You're accustomed to skin, seeds, flesh and core
But you will find that these are special apples
That give you something more
Why, every seed contains some information
You need to speed your education
The seeds indeed of all creation are here
Why be foolish, my dear?
Come with me
To that tree
With every sweet and juicy luscious bite
Of this not-forbidden fruit
You'll see your mind expand and
Your perceptions grow more and more acute
And you can teach him plumbing and philosophy
New techniques for glazing pottery
Woodcraft, first aid, home economy, madam
Adam will be overjoyed
When he becomes aware of your attainments
He will beam with loving pride
And he will say, "Oh, Eve, you're indispensable!
Please don't leave my side!"
And with your nifty newfound education, he'll
Relish every conversation
Why, you'll be Adam's inspiration this way
Just an apple a day
Wait and see
Come with me
To that tree
Now!
