Hey, Evie girl…whatcha doin’ there gal?

                              A7    E

         Hey, it’s just me—your ol’ serpent pal.

E

I see you a starin’ at that tree…

         B7                                                  A7       E

It looks good enough to eat———to me.

                                         B7

I wonder why——the boss told you a lie

          A7                          E

         That if you ate of it you would surely die?

                          B7                                   E

                  Now Evie girl, that’s just not right.

 

E                                                      B7

He’s just funnin’ you, He’s makin’ light of you,

                       A7                                                 E

         He’s just clownin’ ‘round; like He likes to do

                                                       B7

Pay no mind to Him, ignore what He says to do

                        A7                                       E

         And if you do, then He won’t bother you.

                                              B7

You’ll find it juicy and so succulent

                       A7                             E

         And the taste of it you’ll not regret

 

E                                                 B7

See, now ain’t it good just like I said it’d be

                          A7                                        E

         I wouldn’t lie to you, You can trust in me

                                                         B7

There’s someone comin’, I’d better scoot

                   A7                                E

         If it’s Adam, offer him some fruit.
