Josh Gad - Making Things Up Again lyrics

Elder cunningham
And 'lo the Lord said unto the Nephites, 'I
Uh, I know you're really depressed, well
With all your AIDS and everything but
There's an answer in Christ

AFRICAN WOMAN you see, this book CAN help us

Elder cunningham i just told a lie
No, wait, I didn't lie
I just used my imagination and it worked!
Elder cunningham's father
You're making things up again, Arnold
(But it worked, Dad)
You're stretching the truth again
And you know it –

JOSEPH SMITH don't be a fibbing Fran, Arnold
(Joseph Smith?)

SMITH & DAD
Because a lie is a lie (It's not a lie)

You're making things up again, Arnold!
(Oh conscience) you're taking the holy word
And adding fiction!
Be careful how you proceed, Arnold
When you fib, there's a price

MIDDALA
Ahh, this is bullshit! The story that I have
Been told is that the way to cure
AIDS is by sleeping with a virgin! I'm
Going to go and rape a baby!

Elder cunningham
WHAT!?! OH MY – NO! You can't do that! NO!

MIDDALA why not?

Elder cunningham because that is DEFINITELY
Against God's 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 that
Infant you shallpghwwwww!burn
In the fiery pit's of Mordor

MIDDALA really?

Elder cunningham uh, huhuh huh 'A baby
Cannot cure your illness
Joseph Smith – I shall give unto
You aa FROG!'and thus Joseph
Laid with the frog and his AIDS was no more!
(Ohhh)

You're making things up again, Arnold
You're recklessly warping the words of Jesus!
You can't just say what you want, Arnold
(Come on, Hobbit's)
You're digging yourself a deep hole

Elder cunningham
I'm making things up again, kind of!
But this time it's helping a dozen people!
It's nothing so bad because this time –
I'm not committing a sin just
By making things up again, right?! (No)

AFRICAN WOMAN
Elder Cunningham! You have to stop him!
Elder cunningham what? What is it?

AFRICAN WOMAN gotswana is going to cut
Off his daughter's clitoris!

Elder cunningham hah?!

AFRICAN MAN this is all very interesting
But women have to be circumcised if
That's what the General wants!

Elder cunningham no, doing that to a lady
Is definitely against Christ's will!

AFRICAN MAN how do you know? Christ never
Said nothin' about no clitoris!

Elder cunningham
YES! Yes he did! In ancient New York
Three men were about to cut off
A Mormon woman's clitoris! But right
Before they did – Jesus had Boba
Fett turn them into frogs!

AFRICAN MAN frogs?

AFRICAN WOMAN you mean like the frogs that
Got fucked by Joseph Smith!

Elder cunningham
Riiight! Right! Like those frogs! For a
Clitoris is holy among all things, said he!

You're making things up again, Arnold
(We're learning the truth)
You're taking the holy word
And adding fiction! (The truth about God)
Be careful how you proceed, Arnold
When you fib, there's a price
(We're going to paradise)

Elder cunningham who would have thought I'd
Have this magic touch?
Who'd've believed I could man up this much?
I'm talking, they're listening
My stories are glistening
I'm gonna save them all with this stuff!

You're making things up again, Arnold!
(Elder Cunningham)
You're making things up again, Arnold!
(Holy prophet man)
You're making things up again, Arnold
(Our savior)

Elder cunningham
You're making things up again

Hmm, up again making things you are –

Elder cunningham i know
