VERSE 01: Back in the dark and prehistoric age,/ Long before ragtime tunes became the rage,/ Back in the garden of Eden, I mean,/ Adam was king and Eve was the queen./ (They tell me.)/ And ev'ry night they used to give a ball,/ Under the big jungle moon./ The animals all would prance,/ Adam and Eve would dance,/ While the birds whistled a tune. CHORUS: Adam and Eve had a wonderful time!/ Oh, a wonderful time back there!/ The old turkey gobbler, he taught them to "Trot,"/ And the other professor, the "Grizzly Bear."/ All the birds and the bees used to sing in the trees,/ Why, old Adam and Eve used to dance as they please!/ I betche Adam and Eve had a wonderful time,/ Oh! What a wonderful, wonderful time! VERSE 02: Leo, the lion, and the tiger, too,/ They had a "Tango" that they used to do;/ Old brother Monkey was leading the band,/ Gee, it was grand! the best in the land!/ (Some leader!)/ Then the hyena, he began to laugh,/ Went into hysterics and cried:/ The elephant did "Salome",/ One that was all her own/ Adam and Eve nearly died. | |
