The Campers (featuring Phil Ochs) – Adam and Eve

Now Adam was the first man since the world began.
The Lord picked up some clay and from it made a man.
Now Adam wasn’t satisfied, he said, I’ll need a bride.
So the Lord took out a rib from Adam’s side.

They set out to meet each other, never met before.
They recognized each other by the clothes each other wore.

Now she wore a tulip, a bright yellow tulip, and he wore a big red rose.
And as Adam grew older there were some things he told her,
but he told her no one knows.

He said, hey, you’re dynamic, you can start a panic,
right down from your head to toes.

If any guy needs a harem,
I’ve got more ribs and I’ll share them,
and he blushed like a big red rose.
The garden of Eden is where they settled down.

They had a small apartment just outside of town.
Now Adam didn’t eat much, but she didn’t give a hoot.
When he got hungry, he picked him some fruit.

They finally sought their home there,
I don’t know where they went.
They had to move away because
they couldn’t pay the rent.

But she still wore a tulip,
a bright yellow tulip,
and he wore a big red rose.

And as Adam grew older there were some things he told her,
but he told her no one knows.
He said, hey, you’re dynamic, you can start a panic,
right down from your head to toes.

If any guy needs a harem,
I’ve got more ribs and I’ll share them,
and he blushed like a big red rose.

I really mean it,
he blushed like a big red rose.

Phil Ochs …. before he started out on his own with The Campers (1963) singing Camp Favorites.
