Adam And Eve Had A Wonderful Time 1913

James Pitt-Payne, LOndon UK - 14 Sep 2004

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 every 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 whistle a tune.

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 wondeful time,
Oh! A wonderful, wonderful time

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 wondeful time,
Oh! A wonderful, wonderful time

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 in hysterics and cried:
The elephant did "Salome"
one that was all her own,
Adam and Eve nearly died.

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 wondeful time,
Oh! A wonderful, wonderful time

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 wondeful time,
Oh! A wonderful, wonderful time.
