Book of Mormon Lyrics

Hasa Diga Eebowai [Explicit]

[MAFALA:]
In this part of Africa, we ALL have a saying- whenver something bad happens
We just throw our hands up to the sky and say HASA DIGA EEBOWAI!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai?

[MAFALA:]
Its the only way to get through all these troubled times
Theres war, poverty, famine... but having a saying makes it all seem better!

There isnt enough food to eat!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
People are starving in the street!

[UGANDANS and MAFALA:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai![x3]

[ELDER PRICE:]
Well, thats pretty neat!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?

[MAFALA:]
Kind of!

Weve had no rain in several days!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
And 80% of us have AIDS!

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Many young girls here get
Circumcised
Their c***s get cut right off

[ALL:]
Way oh!

[WOMEN:]
And so we say up to the sky

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Now you try! Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky
And list off all the bad things in your life!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Somebody took our luggage away!

[UGANDANS:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[ELDER PRICE:]
The plane was crowded
And the bus was late!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
When the world is getting you down
Theres nobody else to blame!

[UGANDANS:]
Way oh!

MAFALA:
Raise your middle finger to the sky
And curse his rotten name!

[ELDER PRICE:]
Wait, what?!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:][Chorus]

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM:]
Am I saying it right?

[ELDER PRICE:]
Excuse me sir, but what EXACTLY does that phrase mean?

[MAFALA:]
Well, lets see... "Eebowai" means "God"
And "Hasa Diga" means... "F*** You"
So I guess in English it would be "F*** you, God!"

[UGANDANS:][Chorus]

[ELDER PRICE:]
WHAT?!

[MAFALA:]
When God f***s you in the butt

UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

MAFALA:
F*** him right back in his c***!

[UGANDANS:][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai![x3]
F*** you, God!

[ELDER PRICE:]
Excuse me, Sir, but you should really NOT be saying that
Things arent always as bad as they seem!

[MAFALA:]
Oh really? Well take this f***ing a**hole, Mutumbo
He got caught last week trying to RAPE a baby

[ELDER PRICE:]
What?! Why?!

[MAFALA:]
Some people in his tribe believe having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS
There arent many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies

[ELDER PRICE:]
But... thats horrible!

[MAFALA:]
I know!

[UGANDANS][Chorus:]
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

[MAFALA:]
Heres the butcher, he has AIDS
Heres the teacher, she has AIDS
Heres the doctor, he has AIDS
Heres my daughter, she has A
Wonderful disposition
Shes all I have left in the world
And if either of you lays a hand on her
I will give you my AIDS!

[UGANDANS:]
If you dont like what we say
Try living here a couple days!
Watch all your friends and family die!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
(F*** you!)
Hasa Diga Eebowai!

F** you God in the a**, mouth
And c***-a
F*** you God in the a**, mouth
And c***-a
F*** you God in the a**, mouth
And c***-a
F*** you in the eye!

[Chorus:]
Hasa
Diga Eebowai!
Hasa
F*** you in the other eye!

F*** you!
F*** you God!
F*** you!
F*** you God!
F*** you!
F*** you God!

Hasa Diga!
F*** you God!
In the c***!
