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

[Gertie 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]
[Gertie 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?
[Gertie 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

"In the Garden of Eden" is a parody of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly, written by Doug Ingle.
