VERSE 01: I often wonder why it is that woman's always blamed,/ Because this world's so bad, it really makes me feel ashamed./To think the female sex should have to calmly sit and suffer,/ Just because poor Eve did wrong and acted like a silly duffer. CHORUS 01: If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, girls,/ Just think of the trouble and worry it would have saved./ Man wouldn't be so abused, And regularly accused,/ Of being so bad and bold and so depraved./ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, Girls,/ The world would have been much happier I believe,/ But Eve sinned, so of course it ain't, Ev'ry man would have been a Saint,/ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve. VERSE 02: They say Eve tempted Adam, and of course it may be true,/ But I've heard a diff'rent story which is known to very few./ The reason she gave him the apple off the tree of knowledge,/ Was because she knew, he didn't have a change to go to college. CHORUS 02: If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, girls,/ We possibly would have had some chance to speak./ Tho' man hasn't been so glib, Since Adam lost his rib,/ He certainly hasn't lost much of his cheek./ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, Girls,/ Men would have had purer minds, I do believe,/ But they haven't now, goodness knows. For we wouldn't be wearing clothes,/ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve. VERSE 03: If poor Eve hadn't been a chump, how diff'rent men would be!/ They wouldn't think of going home at half past two or three./ They'd give their wives the lower birth, and they would take the upper;/ They'd never flirt with other girls and take them out to supper. CHORUS 03: If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, girls,/ You can just imagine how happy we all would be./ Men would stay at home with their wives, And lead much more contented lives,/ They would do as they like, of course, and so would we./ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve, Girls,/ Man certainly wouldn't have a chance to grieve./ Women wouldn't be suffragettes, And they wouldn't have dogs for pets,/ If Adam had never been introduced to Eve. | |
