A lot of people been wondering, like, where love trouble first began
Well, I'm here tonight to tell you that love trouble, love trouble
Love trouble started right back there, right back, right back in the
Garden of Eden! Not many people don't know that. Not many people
Don't know also that Adam was one jive fool. I mean, Adam was stuck
Up, he was egotistical. I mean, he was the only guy in town, he
Didn't think he had any competition. Man, Adam was so jive, listen to
This, man. Adam was so jive, he used to walk around the Garden of
Eden with his designer's fig leaf on. I mean, a little Calvin Klein
Across here, and he used to walk around like, you know, like he was
Real big, hot stuff, like, huh! Well, there wasn't much to do, there
Wasn't much to do in the Garden of Eden them days, as you can tell
So Adam was taking one of his very many, very many nature walks, and
One day he came across this strange, tall, dark green plant with
Strange, tall green leaves on it. And he looked up at this here
Plant with strange, tall green leaves on it, and he said, "Man
What am I gonna do with this strange, tall green plant with strange
Tall green leaves on it?" That's right, he figured he'd grab some
Of it and he'd smoke it! Well, after a while, after a while
After a while, after a while, after a while, after a while, after
A while, after a while, Adam's mouth started getting real dry
And then Adam broke out in the munchies! Man, he just flew into
That 7-Eleven, he started grabbing all the Three Musketeers, Frito-
Lays. He started getting all them big cans of chili, man. And what's
That Mexican dip, man? What's that Mexican dip? Holy, holy guacamole!
That's what he was trying to get on. Then Adam started getting a
Craving for pizza. Man, he ordered the largest pizza he can get
And he put on mushrooms, he put on onions, he put on pepperoni, he
Put on sausage, he put on hot chili, he put on broccoli, he put on
Peanut butter, he even put on tuna fish. But no anchovies, please!
Now, to prove to you why Adam was such a jive fool, Adam didn't even
Have enough respect to call Eve Eve. Uh-uh. You know what he used
To call her? He used to call her Pewta the Pewta! And he saw Eve
Standing way over yonder by the apple tree, and she was brushing
Her long, long, beautiful hair. And Adam being so jive and figuring
He was so cool, by now he had a beret on, you know. He was listening
To jazz, you know, Charlie Parker, Matthew Hall. He was a cool jive
Dude. Yeah, that's it. Now, after eating all that stuff, Adam's
Just kinda sitting around, poking at his belly button, and he saw
Eve underneath an apple tree, and he started screaming, "Hey, Raputa!
" "Hey, Raputa!" "Hey, Raputa!" "Hey, Raputa!" "Hey, get over there
You bitch, and pick me one of them apples!" Well, that was the last
Straw for Eve. She grabbed the apple from the tree, and she walked
Right up to Adam, and she took that apple, and she just mushed it
Right in his face. And then Adam started... And Adam and Eve started
Fighting, and they were getting down on the ground, rolling all
Over the ground, rolling all over the Garden of Eden. But lo and
Behold, an archangel appeared and descended from the heavens, and
Said to Adam and Eve, "Stop this half-now fighting!" I'm trying to
Get it together, Lord. And the angel further said, "The two of you
Were put on Earth for love." Angels talk like that. And Eve got up
And she said, "Love? If you call this love, let me tell you, angel-
