It started off right, it started off swell Caviar from the tree, Perrier from a well
A garden so delightful, honey dripping from the vines
Each morning brought its glory and they lived a life divine
The man loved his lady and the lady loved her gent
The landlord kept things tidy and He didn’t charge no rent.
Paradise was perfect, Paradise was plush,
Nobody ever died, nobody made a fuss
Then along came the serpent with a piece of bad advise
He said,
“Lady eat that apple while it’s fresh and ripe.”
“Why thanks, I surely will,
You don’t have to ask me twice.”
If the lady’d only known snakes just aren’t the honest type.
Well now, hell had been restrained by a holy truce
‘til the snake slithered in, then all hell broke loose.....
It was a garden disaster, like a hurricane but faster
Blew the leaves right off the tree,
A garden disaster, didn’t listen to the Master
Landlord changed the locks and key.
It was a garden disaster.
Gent blamed the Lady, Lady blamed the Snake
Snake laughed at them and said
“For goodness sakes. ”
Now you blame, ,
you complain
You blew it all yourself ,
and now you feel the shame!
Well, I didn't do a thing!
Better pack and get on out ..
Just remember
...this won’t be over till
the fat lady sings!”
It was a garden disaster, like a hurricane but faster
Honey dried up on the vines
A garden disaster, didn’t listen to the Master
Man was shown the Exit sign.
It was a garden disaster....
You choose your destination, then
you try to hide!
You give up Paradise and
for what?...your silly pride?!
The Master was prepared with a sweet Disaster Plan
Don’t reject it, accept it,
It's in place for everyman!
And don’t worry ‘bout the fat lady,
don’t wait for her to sing ‘cause
It was all over when
Christ was crowned the King.
It was a garden disaster
like a hurricane but faster
blew the leaves right off the trees
A garden disaster, won’t you listen to the Master?
Won’t you listen to the Master?...
Won’t you listen to the Master?
