N.C.
And lo the Lord said unto the Nephites, I, uh, I know you're really depressed,
What with all your Aids and everything. But there's an answer in Christ!
riff e|---1-----| B|-----2-4-| G|---------| D|-3-------| A|---------| E|---------|
N.C.
You see, this book can help us! (riff)
N.C.
I just told a lie. (riff) No, wait, I didn't lie...
I just used my imagination. (riff) And it worked! (riff) (riff)(riff)
[Verse 1]
Ab Cm7 Db You're making things up again, Ar - nold. (But it worked, Dad!) Ab Dbmaj7/C You're stretching the truth again, and you know it - Ab9 Cm7 Db Don't be a fibbing fran, Ar - nold. (Joseph Smith?) Db9/F Gb9 Because a lie is a lie. (It's not a lie!) Ab9 Ab9/C Db9 You're making things up again, Ar - - nold! (Oh conscience!) Ab9 Dbmaj7/C You're taking the holy word and adding fiction! Ab9 Cm7 Db Gb Db/F Ebsus Eb Be careful how you proceed, Ar - nold. When you fib, there's a price.
[Interlude]
Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Ab5 Ahh, this is bullshit! The story that I have been told is that the way Ab/C Db9 Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Ab5 To cure Aids is by sleeping with a virgin! I'm going to go and rape a baby! Ab/C Db9 Ab5 What!?!! OH MY NO! You can't do that! No!!!! Why not? Ab/C Db9 Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Because that is definitely against God's will! Says who!? Ab5 Where in that book of yours does it say anything Ab/C Db9 N.C. About sleeping with a baby, huh?! Nowhere!
N.C.
(riff) Uh, behold, the Lord said to the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith,
N.C.
You shall not have sex with that infant! (riff)
N.C.
Lo! Joseph said, Why not Lord? Huh? Why not? And the Lord said,
NC.
If you lay with that infant you shall...pghwwwww!...burn in the fiery pits of...Mordor!
N.C.
(riff) Really? Uh huh...uh huh. A baby cannot cure your illness, Joseph Smith,
N.C.
I shall give unto you a...a frog! And thus Joseph laid with the frog,
N.C. Eb Fm7 Eb/G And his Aids was no more! (Ohhhhh....)
[Chorus]
Ab9 Dbmaj7 You're making things up again, Arnold. Ab9 Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/Eb You're recklessly warping the words of Je - - - sus! Ab9 Dbmaj7/F You can't just say what you want, Arnold. (Come on, Hobbits!) Gb9 Ebsus Ebsus You're digging yourself a deep hole. Ab9 Dbmaj7 Dbmaj7/C I'm making things up again, kind of, Ab9 Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/Eb But this time it's helping a dozen peo - - - ple! Ab9 Dbmaj7/F It's nothing so bad because this time, Absus/Gb Ebsus I'm not committing a sin just by making things up again, right?! (No!)
[Interlude]
Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Elder Cunningham! You have to stop him! What? what is it? Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Gotswana is going to cut off his daughter's clitoris! Ab5 Ab/C Db9 Huh?! This is all very interesting, Ab5 Ab/C Db9 But women have to be circumcised if that's what the general wants! Ab5 Ab/C Db9 No, doing that to a lady is definitely against Christ's will! Ab5 Ab/C Db9 How do you know? Christ never said nothin' 'bout no clitoris! N.C. Eb Yes! Yes he did! (riff) In ancient New York, three men were about to cut off
N.C.
A mormon woman's cli-toris! But right before they did, Jesus had -
N.C.
Boba Fett turn them into frogs! Frogs?
N.C.
You mean like the frogs that got fucked by Joseph Smith! (riff)
N.C.
Riiight! Riight! like those frogs! For a clitoris is holy among all things, said he!
[Chorus]
Eb Fm7 Eb/G Ab9 Dbmaj7 You're making things up again, Arnold. (We're learning the truth!) Ab9 Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/Eb You're taking the holy word and adding fic - - - tion! (The truth about God.) Ab9 Dbmaj7/F Gb9 Ebsus Ebsus Be careful how you proceed Arnold. When you fib there's a price. (We're going to paradise!)
[Bridge]
Bbm7 Ab9/C Who would have thought I'd have this magic touch? Db Eb7sus Eb Eb/Db Who'd've believed I could man up this much? Fm7 Eb/G I'm talking, they're listening, my stories are glistening Gb Eb N.C. I'm gonna save them all with this stuff! (Ooh la! *click*)
[Outro]
Ab9 Dbmaj7 You're making things up again, Arnold! (Elder Cunningham!) Ab9 Dbmaj7 You're making things up again, Arnold! (Holy prophet man!) Ab9 Dbmaj7 N.C. You're making things up again, Arnold. (Our savior!)
