Well, Eve told Adam

Snakes? I've had 'em!
Am6 E7
Let's get outta here!
B7 E
Go raise this family someplace outta town.
E7 Edim7
They left the garden just in time
Am6 E7
With the landlord cussin' right behind.
B7
They headed East,
E
and they finally settled down.

One thing led to another:

A bunch of sons,
E
One killed his brother
F#7 B7
And they kicked him out with nothin' but his clothes.

And the human race survived

'Cause all those brothers found wives

But where they came from

Ain't nobody knows.

Think "circus"
Am6 E7
And then make it float
B7 Ed7
And hope nobody pulls the plug on you!

How they fed that crowd is a mystery.
E7
It ain't down in the history,
F#7
but it's a cinch they didn't
B7
live on cakes and jam.
E7 Edim7
Lions don't eat cabbage
Am6 E7
And in spite of that old adage,

I ain't never seen one
E7
Lie down with a lamb.

Well, Charlie Darwin looked so far

Into the way things are.

He caught a glimpse of God's

unfolding plan.

God said: "I'll make some DNA"
Edim7 Am6 E7
They can use it any way they want
B7
From paramecium
E7
Right up to man."
A7
"They'll have sex
E7
And mixed up sections of their code
E7
They'll have mutations...
F#7 B7
The whole thing works like clockwork over time."
E7 Edim7
"I'll just sit back in the shade
Am6 E7
While everyone gets laid.
B7
That's what I call
E7
Intelligent design."

Yeah, you and your cat named Felix,

Is what we call
E7
Intelligent design.
