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 he'd just try some too Go on and eat forbidden fruit It's mighty sweet forbidden fruit It's quite a treat forbidden fruit Go ahead and bite it I bet you'd 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 Adam's 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 you'd be delighted You always did it now you'll gonna get it Forbidden fruit |

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair The other woman enchantes her clothes with French perfume The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room There are never toys that's scattered everywhere And when her own man comes to call on her He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen Cos when she's by his side It's such a change from old routine But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep The other woman will never have his love to keep And as the years go by the other woman Will spend her life alone The other woman enchantes her clothes with French perfume The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room There are never toys that's scattered everywhere And when her own man comes to call on her He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen Cos when she's by his side It's such a change from old routine But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep The other woman will never have his love to keep And as the years go by the other woman Will spend her life alone |

Work Song
Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Breaking rocks and serving my time Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang Because they done convicted me of crime Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been Working and working But I still got so terribly far to go I commited crime Lord I needed Crime of being hungry and poor I left the grocery store man bleeding (breathing?) When they caught me robbing his store Hold it steady right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been Working and working But I still got so terribly far to go I heard the judge say five years On chain-gang you gonna go I heard the judge say five years labor I heard my old man scream "Lordy, no!" Hold it right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been Working and working But I still got so terribly far to go Gonna see my sweet honey bee Gonna break this chain off to run Gonna lay down somewhere shady Lord I sure am hot in the sun Hold it right there while I hit it Well reckon that ought to get it Been Workin' and workin' Been Workin' and slavin' An' Workin' and workin' But I still got so terribly far to go |

I don't want him you can have him
He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from I don't want him you can have him I'm giving him the sack And he can go right back where he came from I'm afraid I never loved him Sweetie he'd be better off with you I could never make him happyAll I ever wanted to do was Run my fingers through his curly locks Mend his underwear and darn his socks Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes Wipe his glasses when he's read the news Rub his forehead with a gentle touch Mornings after when he's had a little too much Kiss him gently when he cuddles near And give him babies one for every yearSo you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him Because he's not the man for me Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bedSo you see that I don't want him you can have him You can have him cos I don't want him because he's not my man I don't want him you can have him You can have him I don't want him You can have him I don't want him Cos he's not the man for me |

Dorothy Fields, Jimmy MacHugh
I know why I waited Know why I've been blue I've been waiting each day For someone exactly like you Why should I spend some money On a show or two When nobody sings these love songs Exactly like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you You make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Was somebody like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world to you Baby you make me understand These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming And schemes I'm scheming Now I know why my mama She taught me to be true She knew just around the corner Yes she knew just around the corner Was somebody like you |
