from the album “Leave the Light On,” 2006.

Well Eve told Adam
“Snakes, I’ve had ‘em!
Let’s get out of here
go raise this family someplace out of town.”
They left the garden just in time
with the landlord cussing right behind
they headed east and finally settled down.

One thing lead to another
a bunch of sons, one killed his brother.
They kicked him out with nothing but his clothes
The human race survives
cuz those brothers all found wives
But where they came from ain’t nobody knows.

Then came the flood, go figure,
just like New Orleans, only bigger.
No one who couldn’t swim would make it through.
Well the lucky ones were on a boat
think “circus” and then make it float
and hope nobody pulls the plug on you.

How they fed that crowd is a mystery
it aint down in the history
but it’s a cinch they didn’t live on cakes and jams.
Lions don’t eat cabbage
and in spite of that old adage
you will never see one lie down with a lamb.

Well Charlie Darwin
looked so far in
to the way things are.
He caught a glimpse of God’s unfolding plan.
God said “I’ll make some DNA,
they can use it anyway
they want, from paramecium right up to man.

“They’ll have sex and mix up sections
of the code, they’ll have mutations.
The whole thing works like clockwork over time.
I’ll just sit back in the shade
while everyone gets laid
that’s what I call ‘intelligent design.’”

Yeah, you and your cat named Felix
you’re both wrapped up in that double helix.
That’s what we call intelligent design.
