Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple
(We'll Have To Pass The Apples Again)
Composer(s): Chas. McCarron; Albert Von Tilzer



Everybody loves a girl who's modest
Everybody loves a girl who's shy
When a girl is modest and retiring 
You can bet she'll always get by
Modesty began in the garden of Eden
In every book you'll find 
I'll admit it started in the Garden of Eden
But just bear this in mind

Just suppose that every girl was modest
Just suppose that every girl was shy
There would be no dust when days are windy 
To blow right in the naughty man's eye 
We'd have better business in our marriage market
Each man would surely mate 
When they start proposing they can see what they're getting
That's why some hesitate

Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple 
That old apple to blame 
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came 
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then 
Once they only wore a leaf 
Clothes are getting just as brief
If every mother's daughter, wears dresses any shorter
We'll have to pass the apples again

Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple 
That old apple to blame 
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came 
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then 
Way back in the olden days 
Men were fooled by girlie ways
For then we never knew them
but now we see right through them
We'll have to pass the apples again
