about

The first song in the Genesis series.

lyrics

Adam was old, very very old,
and he had a lot of kids
Then he finally died, being the first alive, of the
900-year-old men

Seth lived 'til, nine hundred twelve,
and he had some daughters too
But the sons had names, living among the claims of
900-year-old men

Kenan lived seventy years,
and had Mahalalel, then
At nine hundred ten, he met his end, with the
900-year-old men

Jared, Enoch, Lamech, Daughters,
and Methuselah, but
Methuselah, was the oldest yet, of the
900-year-old men

Lamech lived 'til one eighty-two and then
surprise, he had a son
And not to gloat, but this boy built a boat, for the
900-year-old men

Now, Enoch was, only three sixty-five
but they couldn't find his corpse
So they figured God, hid the evidence, because of
900-year-old men

Now lots of people came and went
but their names are hard to read,
so although absurd, you'll have to take my word, for the
900-year-old men

La la la....
