Adam Was A Gardener Lyrics - Children

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. 

Young folks, old folks, 

Everybody come. 

Come on o'er to our place 

And make yourself at home. 

But please check your chewing gum 

And razors at the door, 

We'll tell you Bible stories 

That you never heard before. 

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.' 

Young folks, old folks, 

Everybody come. 

Come on o'er to our place 

And make yourself at home. 

But please check your chewing gum 

And razors at the door, 

We'll tell you Bible stories 

That you never heard before. 

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. 

Young folks, old folks, 

Everybody come. 

Come on o'er to our place 

And make yourself at home. 

But please check your chewing gum 

And razors at the door, 

We'll tell you Bible stories 

That you never heard before. 

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, 

Everybody come. 

Come on o'er to our place 

And make yourself at home. 

But please check your chewing gum 

And razors at the door, 

We'll tell you Bible stories 

That you never heard before
