God Looked Around |
God looked around |
He didn’t see nothin' |
Said, «Well shucks, let there be light» |
So up come the sun |
Bright as all get-out |
And then he split it up into day and night |
God looked around |
Wasn’t much to look at |
So he fabricated the heavens and earth |
So now there’s solid ground |
Divvied up by waters |
He said, «Well, there it is, for what it’s worth» |
He gave wings to birds |
Ao they’d fly in the air |
And legs for critters walkin' on the ground |
Allocated fish to the water |
And beasts to the fields |
And creeping things to crawl around |
God looked around |
He didn’t see no one |
He reached down and he picked up some dust |
Then he spit on it |
And he kneaded it like bread dough |
And a man rose up full-grown as such |
God looked at the man |
He saw that he was lonely |
Said, «Go to sleep, I guess I ain’t done» |
He pried out one of his ribs |
And he slapped some hide around it |
There was two now where once there’s one |
He gave it some curves |
And lips red a cherries |
And ravishing curly raven hair |
Well the man, he woke up |
And he looked at the woman |
He said, «Whoa Lord, you done answered my prayers» |
Now things was righteous |
When a snake walked up |
Said «Hey woman, take a bite of this |
«You'll be smart as God |
«And you’ll live forever |
«You'll be foolish to resist» |
The woman said «Uh-uh |
«I don’t eat from that tree |
«Those was God’s very own words» |
Oh, but the snake sweet-talked her |
And she took a bite |
And the she realized she’s naked as a jaybird |
The woman went to the man |
And he took a taste |
«Well I’m undraped» he proclaimed |
And they heard God a-comin' |
So they went and hid |
'Course they was naked and ashamed |
Well, God found 'em |
Said, «You ate forbidden fruit» |
The woman cried «The snake duped me, I was tempted» |
God said «I told you not to |
«And since you disobeyed |
«Your time here in paradise is ended» |
So God cast 'em out |
Dooming us all to die |
That’s why it’s the way it is |
And God said to the snake |
«You done walkin' and talkin'» |
That’s why to this day they slither and hiss |
