Nina Simone - Forbiden Fruit

Eve and Adam had a garden, everything was great
Till one day a boy says 'Pardon miss, my name is snake.
See that apple over yonder? If you'll take a bite,
you and Adam both are bound to have some fun tonight'
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it, you don't wanna waste it

The Lord had said in the beginning everything is free
Except that apple, that leads to sinning so let that apple be
But Eve got tempted, so she tried it and as all chicks do
Teaser her man till he decided had just try some too
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
Its quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and bite it, I bet you would be delighted

I hate to tell you all what followed The Lord was most upset
Saw them making love and hollered what have you to add
And when they made a full confession The Lord said 'hm I see
I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson about not minding me'.
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
You're all indebted now you gonna get it

The Lord made Eve Adams madam have his kids and all
Placed some labour laws on Adam and he made the snake to fall
Ever since the days of eden folks been sinful my
Nowadays they're even eating apples in their pie
Go on and eat forbidden fruit
It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit
It's quite a treat forbidden fruit
Go ahead and taste it you don't wanna waste it
Oh go ahead and bite it I bet youd be delighted
You always did it now you'll gonna get it
Forbidden fruit
