Now back in the
day in the old king's house
Every night was a crazy ball
The cats smoked hay through
a rubber hose
And the women they
wore transparent clothes
That's what the good folks said, boy
That's what the good folks said, boy
Now Moses said to old Pharaohs,
you'll have to let my people go
If you don't take the chains off
and set them loose
I'm going to put the plague
on all of you Jews
That's what the good folks said,
boy
That's what the good folks said, boy
Now the snake said to Eve,
you listen to me
Go and take that apple off the tree
Now the Lord tried to guide him,
but he was blind
She said, apple cider tastes mighty fine
That's what the good Lord said, boy
That's what the good Lord said, boy
Oh, Neville was sittin'
on a nest of coals
Givin' boiled brood to the sinnin' soul
They was takin' fat and brim
and mixin' with wine
And havin' theirself
a real crazy time
That's what the good book says,
boy
That's what the good book says, boy
That's what the good book says,
boy
That's what the good book says you
