Lyrics

From God's Brain To Your Mouth

Bart:

Hymns here! I got hymns here! Get 'em while they're holy! Fresh from God's brain to your mouth!

Reverend Lovejoy:

And now please rise for our opening hymn... Uh, "In the Garden of Eden" by "I. Ron Butterfly?"

In the Garden of Eden

[Helen Feesh plays opening riff]

Congregation:

In the Garden of Eden, honey,

Don't you know that I love you?

In the Garden of Eden, baby,

Don't you know that I'll always be true?

[Bart laughs evilly]

Homer:

Hey, Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?

[Marge giggles and then shushes Homer]

[Helen Feesh plays the lengthy instrumental interlude until the congregation comes back in]

Oh won't you come with me-ee-ee,

And take my ha-a-and?

Oh, won't you come with me-ee-ee,

Reverend Lovejoy:

Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll!

And walk this land?

[Helen Feesh plays the rest of the 17-minute song until she faints on the keyboards]

Reverend Lovejoy:

I know one of you is responsible for this. So repeat after me: If I withhold the truth, may I go straight to hell, where I will eat naught but burning hot coals and drink naught but burning hot cola...

Kids and Ralph:

... where fiery demons will punch me in the back...

Kids and Bart:

...where my soul will be chopped into confetti and strewn upon a parade of murderers and single mothers...

Kids and Milhouse:

...where my tongue will be torn out by ravenous birds...

[a crow shrieks]

Milhouse:

Bart did it! That Bart right there!

Bart:

Milhouse!

Reverent Lovejoy:

Milhouse, you did the right thing. Bart, come with me for punishment. You too, Snitchy.

I want you to clean every one of these organ pipes that you have befouled with your "popular music."

Behind the Laughter
