Song I co-wrote with my father.
Forbidden Fruit
Written by Peter Merz, George E. Merz, and Mark E. Ellis
1, Hey Adam, where's your shirt?
(Don't need no shirt.)
Hey Eve, where's your skirt?
(Don't need no skirt.)
Hey Eve, look at this juicy fruit
(Looks good I'll try a bite.)
Hey Adam how about you?
(I think I'll try it, too).
Chorus
Forbidden fruit's got you in a jam
Hey Eve, things are getting out of hand
Hey Adam, you've broken God's command
Forbidden fruit has you in a jam
Hey Adam, real nice leaves
(Hey now, don't peek!)
Hey Eve, real nice weave
(Turn your eyes, please.)
Hey Eve, can you hear those footsteps?
(I better run and hide!)
Hey Adam, how about you?
(Think I'll run and hide, too)
Chorus
Forbidden fruit's got you in a jam
Hey Eve, things are getting out of hand
Hey Adam, you've broken God's command
Forbidden fruit has you in a jam
Instrumental
Bridge:
And as one sin leads to another
You find yourself in trouble brother
Hooked to the tail of a twister
You find yourself in trouble sister
3. Hey man, where have you gone?
(Hiding, we got no clothes on)
Who told you, you were in the buff?
(The serpent, fed us all his stuff)
You slimy snake, you're gonna crawl-
My only Son will take the fall,
But He's gonna rise again
To set the whole world free from sin
To set the whole world free from sin
Set the whole world free from sin
Chorus
Forbidden fruit's got you in a jam
Hey Eve, things are getting out of hand
Hey Adam, you've broken God's command
Forbidden fruit has you in a jam
