Children Adam Was A Gardener Lyrics

Adam was a gardener
And Eve, she was his spouse,
They lost their jobs by stealing fruit
And went to keeping house.
There it was a quiet one
And peaceful in the main,
Until they had a baby boy and
Went to raising Cain.

Esau was a farmer of a
Wild and woolly make;
His daddy gave him half the farm
And half to Brother Jake;
But Esau saw that his title,
It wasn't very clear,
So he sold his half to Brother Jake
And said he didn't 'keer.'

Daniel was a smartypants who Wouldn't obey the King;
The King got mad and said he wouldn't
Stand for such a thing;
He chucked him down a manhole
With lions underneath,
But Daniel was a dentist, and
He pulled the lions' teeth.

Jonah was an emigrant,
So tells the Bible tale;
He bought a one-way ticket on
A trans-Atlantic whale;
But the whale's interior
Was cramped, at very best,
So Jonah pressed the button -- and
The whale, he did the rest.

Young folks, old folks,

And make yourself at home.
But please check your chewing gum
And razors at the door,
