lyrics

As the red curtain rose in the centre of the stage
A small boy could be seen facing away
Nothing happened for a couple of minutes
The audience began to chat amongst themselves
Where was the show? Why had they come?
Then a spotlight on the boy silenced everyone
And he began to dance

The boy was in rags but he knew how to move
His arms and his legs a pinnochio groove
The music petered out and the audience grumbled
This time he faced out into the crowd
And leaves began to fall

He reached out his hand and caught one with ease
Cast over him were shadows in the shape of old trees
He ran off the stage and the lights all went out
This time the audience began to shout out loud

A bird alone could be overheard
Singing the organ tune transposed up a third
Daybreak came and a canopy grew
Butterflies fluttered and songbirds flew
Our audience now rubbing their eyes
Were in a forest of gargantuan size
The Garden of Eden was the name of this play
And where our good patrons will forever stay
