Quote of the Month

1.26headshot

The Lord made Adam, the Lord made Eve,
He made ’em both a little bit naive.
They lived as free as the summer breeze,
Without pajamas and without chemise,
Until they stumbled on the apple trees.
 
Then she looked at him,
And he looked at her,
And they knew immedjetly
What the world was fur.
 
He said give me my cane,
He said give me my hat,
The time has come
To begin The Begat.
 
Lyric excerpt: “The Begat”
lyric by Yip Harburg, music by Burton Lane
from Finian’s Rainbow (1947)
