The Book of Mormon Cast – Making Things Up Again Soundtrack Lyrics [ from “The Book of Mormon” Musical (2011) ]  ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
And lo, the Lord said unto the Nephites:
“I know you’re really depressed, what with all your… AIDS,
and everything… but there is an answer in Christ.” NABULUNGI:
You see? This book CAN help us! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I just told a lie.
No, I didnt LIE…
I just used my imagination…
And it worked! CUNNINGHAMS FATHER:
Youre making things up again, Arnold ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
But it worked, dad! CUNNINGHAMS FATHER:
Youre stretching the truth again,
And you know it- JOSEPH SMITH:
Dont be a Fibbing Fran, Arnold. ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Joseph Smith…? SMITH AND FATHER:
Because a lie is a lie. ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Its not a lie! MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, and FATHER:
Youre making things up again, Arnold! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Oh, conscience! MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, and FATHER:
Youre taking the holy word
And adding fiction!
Be careful how you prcoeed, Arnold.
When you fib, theres a price. MIDDALA:
Ahh, this it bullshit!
The story I’VE been told is that the way to cure AIDS is by sleeping with a virgin!
I’m gonna go and rape a baby! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
What?! Oh my-NO! You cant do that!!! NO! MIDDALA:
Why not?! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Because that is DEFINITELY against Gods will! MIDDALA:
Says who?!
Where in that book of yours does it say ANYTHING about sleeping with a baby, huh?!
Nowhere. ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Uh, behold! The Lord said to the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith:
“You SHALL NOT have sex with that infant!”
LO! Joseph said: “Why not, Lord? Huh? Why not?”
And the Lord said “If you lay with an infant, you shall…. Burn in the fiery pits of Mordar!!!” MIDDALA:
…really? ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Uh-uh… Uh-uh! “A baby cannot cure your illness, Joseph Smith.
I shall give unto you… a FROG! And thus,
Joesph laid with the frog, and his AIDS was no more! UGANDANS:
Ohhhhh! MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, and DAD:
Youre making things up again, Arnold.
Youre recklessly warping
The words of Jesus! HOBBITS:
You cant just say what you want, Arnold! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Come, on, Hobbits! ALL:
Youre digging yourself a deep hole! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Im making things up again…kind of.
But this time, its helping
A dozen people!
Its nothing so bad, because this time,
Im not committing a sin,
Just by making things up again, right?! ALL:
NO! NABULUNGI:
Elder Cunningham, you have to stop him! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
What? What is it? NABULUGI:
Gotswana is going to cut off his daughters clitoris! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Huh?! GOTSWANA:
This is all very interesting, but women have to be circumcised if thats what the General wants! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
No, no, doing that to a lady is definitely against Gods will! GOTSWANA:
How do you know?! Christ never said NOTHIN bout no clitoris! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
…YES! YES HE DID!
In ancient New York, three men were about to cut off a Mormon womans…clitoris.
But…right before they did, Jesus had… BOBA FETT turn em into FROGS! GOTSWANA:
Frogs? ASMERET:
You mean like the frogs that got fucked by Joseph Smith?! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Right! Right! Like THOSE frogs!
For a clitoris is holy amongst ALL things, said he! MORONI, MORMON, SMITH, DAD, and HOBBITS:
Youre making things up again, Arnold. UGANDANS:
Were learning the truth! CHORUS:
Youre taking the holy word
And adding fiction! UGANDANS:
The truth about God! CHORUS:
Be careful how you proceed, Arnold.
When you fib, theres a price! UGANDANS:
Were going to paradise! ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Who would have thought
I had this magic touch?
Whodve believe I could
Man up this much?
Im talking, their listening,
My stories are glistening
Im gonna save them all
With this stuff! UGANDANS:
Ooooh- La CHORUS:
Youre making things up again, Arnold! UGANDANS:
