Lyrics
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 around like hungry buffaloes 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 And you’ll find that these arе special apples that give you somеthing more Why every seed contains some information you’ll 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 and 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’ll beam with loving pride And he will say, "Oh Eve, you’re indispensable, please don’t leave my side" And with your nifty new-found education He’ll relish every conversation While you’ll be Adam’s inspiration this way Just an apple a day Wait and see Come with me To that tree
