Disclaimer: I don't own Hamilton (duh).
Company: Circa 4000 BC, Garden of Eden
Eve: Pardon me, are you Adam?
Adam: Madam, that depends who's asking.
Eve: Oh, I'm Eve.
Adam: Madam! Yes, I'm Adam, I don't have a last name.
Eve: Nor do I.
Adam: If we had 'em, I don't know what we would do with 'em.
Eve: Adam!
Adam: Madam!
Eve: I was just created, from your rib, I think
I don't know why God had to use part of your body
He made me so you wouldn't have to be alone
It's a blur, but yeah, I guess I came from your bone
Adam: Now that you mention it, I do feel a little out of whack
Eve: I'm getting hungry, how about a snack?
(Eve reaches for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam restrains her and points to the Tree of Life.)
Adam: Eat this, not that
God told me if you eat it… you'll get fat
Eve: Excuse me?
Adam: Just trust me, use your head
Those who eat the bad fruit wind up dead
Serpent: A-yo-yo-yo, what time is it? SHOWTIME!
Adam: Like I said…
Serpent: Showtime, showtime, yo!
I'm the serpent in the place to be
We had two characters, and now we've got three
That Yahweh, He don't want it with me
'Cause I will t-t-t-tempt you to eat from this tree!
Hey, I'm the devil in some theolog-
ies, eat from this tree, get some knowledge!
Eve: Good luck with that, God said it was bad.
Serpent: Good and evil? Naw, man, it's totally rad.
If you eat it, you're like God, so what do you stall for?
(Aside) If you've never been tricked, then what'll you fall for?
Adam & Eve: Ooh, is it true, is it true, is it true?
What if we eat this fruit? What's it gonna do?
Adam:
We will not live to see God's glory
Now every day will be a fight
And when our children tell our story
They'll tell the story of our bite
Eve:
Raise a glass to Eden
Somewhere we will never see again
No matter what good we do
No, we can never make things right
Adam:
Raise a glass to the two of us
Soon there won't be so few of us
Telling the story of our bite…
Eve:
They'll tell the story of our bite.
