(Helen Feesh plays opening riff)

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.)

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)
