Текст: They Might Be Elders. If You Wannabe An Elder.

[Parody of Spice Girls - Wannabe]

It?s for the future,
Forget the past,
Going on my mission now,
I wanna make it last.
Now I?m not wasting,
My precious time,
I got my act together and I?ll be just fine.

Don?t tell me where to teach
If I?m going out to preach,
Yo, Don?t tell me where to tract
If I?m going out to tract,
I?m asking when,
I?m asking where,
I?m asking why,
I?m asking how,
I wanna really really really wanna proselyte now!

If you wannabe an Elder,
You gotta give a Bible away,
Helping one another,
Is what they do each day.
If You wannabe an Elder,
Give out Book of Mormons too,
Baptizing forever,
Is what they?d like to do!

Now whatcha think about that?
Now you know how they feel.
Yes they can handle two years,
Yes they?re for real.
Now I?m not hasty,
I thought it over some time.
I said, ?Two years to the Lord is worth a million of mine!?

Don?t tell me where to teach
If I?m going out to preach,
Don?t tell me where to tract
If I?m going out to tract,
I?m asking when, where, why yo how,
I wanna really really really wanna proselyte now!

(Chorus)

Here?s the story from D&C 4.
You better open up your ears,
Cause you?re gonna hear some more,
You?ve got a sickle to thrust
In a field with all your might.
Have faith, hope, and love and stay in God?s light,
Remember patience, charity and kindness all the time,
Diligence and knowledge,
Go with that same line
Follow the commandments,
Follow all the time,
Follow the commandments I?m sure you will be fine.

If you wannabe an Elder,
You gotta give a Bible away,
Helping one another,
Is what they do each day.
If You wannabe an Elder,
Give out Book of Mormons too.
To be the best kind of Elder,
God?s light begins in you!

If you wannabe an Elder
You gotta,
You gotta,
You gotta,
You gotta,
You gotta love, share, give and teach!
Follow the commandments,
Follow all the time,
Follow the commandments,
I?m sure you will be fine.
Follow the commandments,
Follow all the time,
If you follow the commandments,
Why wouldn?t you be fine?
If you wannabe an Elder!
