Do Not IT Eat, It Eat

Parody of "Do Wah Diddi" by Manfred Mann
Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Paro-dud)
There she was just-a woman named-a Eve.
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!
Careful, don't linger, or you'll forever grieve."
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!"
It looks good (looks good).
It looks fine (looks fine).
It looks sweet, it looks right. If you eat it, cost your life!

Serpent told her that he's talking truthfully.
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!"
Moldin' your brain just as crafty as can be.
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!"
She chomped on (chomped on).
She ate more (you ate more?).
She chomped on, she ate more. Yes, they dissed the words of Lord!

Ohhh, oh, oh.
They knew they was fallen, they run.
Oh, oh oh.
Ignored that they would sin and they'd flee His love.

Now where is Adam, where is Eve? They didn't stay.
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!
They're not happy. Are we gonna disobey?
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!"
We do worse (we do worse).
He's divine (He's divine)
We do worse. He's divine. Will we quell our sin this time?

Ohhh, oh, oh.
We knew we are fallen, we run.
Oh, oh oh.
Ignored that we would sin and we'd flee His love.

There she was, just-a woman named-a Eve.
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!
Careful, don't linger, or you'll forever grieve."
God said, "Do not it eat, it eat, from this neat tree!"
It looks good (looks good).
It looks fine (looks fine).
It looks sweet, it looks right. If you eat it, cost your life!
Note: Jeff James has written several Parodeities over the years. He has been gracious enough to rewrite many of the parodies appearing in the Parodeity section on Webster. He's done a great job improving some of these tunes in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I'm absolutely thrilled that he has taken it upon himself to make these improvements; I had hoped when I put all my work in the public domain that it would encourage some people to make these types of modifications to the Parodeities to improve them. It is exciting to see someone doing this kind of work; I hope that Jeff's excellent work will encourage others to write new parodies or "ReVerse" existing parodeities. -- Randy Hyde

BTW, if you don't understand the "Paro-Dud" moniker, visit ApologetiX' site and check out the name of Karl Messner's production company; then you'll probably get the play on words.
