I found a little plot of land
In the garden of Eden
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands
And I called it my very own;
There was no-one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked
At the state of things —
The whole place
Had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell
So I laid me by a spring, for a spell
As naked as a trout

Meet me in the garden of Eden
Bring a friend
We are gonna have ourselves a time
We are gonna have a garden party
It's on me!
No, sirree, it's my dime

We broke our hearts
In the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both, in equal part
Are welcome to come along
I'm inviting everyone
Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
But I believe in innocence, little darling
Start again
I believe in everyone
