I got a feeling
That you could be feeling
A whole lot better then you feel today
You say you got a problem
Well that's no problem
It's super easy not to feel that way
When you start to get confused
Because of thoughts in your head
Don't feel those feelings!
Hold them in instead
Turn it off, like a light switch
Just go click!
It's a cool little Mormon trick!
We do it all the time
When you're feeling certain feels
That just don't feel right
Treat those pesky feelings
Like a reading light
And turn 'em off
Like a light switch, just go BAP!
Really, whats so hard about that?
Turn it off!
[ELDERS]
Turn it off!
[ELDER CHURCH]
When I was young my dad
Would treat my mom real bad
Every time the Utah Jazz would lose
He'd start a-drinking
And I'd start a-thinking
How am I gonna keep my mom from getting abused?
I'd see her all scared and my soul was dying
My dad would say to me: "Now, don't you dare start crying"
[ELDER THOMAS]
My sister was a dancer, but she got cancer
My doctor said she still had two months more
I thought she had time, so I got in line
For the new iPhone at the Apple Store
She lay there dying with my father and mother
Her very last words were "Where is my brother?"
[ELDER PRICE, spoken]
Well, Elder McKinley, I think it's okay that you're having gay thoughts, just so long as you never act upon them
(The ELDERS dance.)
[ELDERS]
Turn it off!
[ELDER MCKINLEY]
Now, how do you feel?
[ELDER PRICE]
The same
[ELDER MCKINLEY]
Then you've only got yourself to blame
You didn't pretend hard enough
Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes
And find the box that's gay and CRUSH IT!
Okay?
[ELDER PRICE, spoken]
No, no, I'm not having gay thoughts!
[ELDER CUNNINGHAM, spoken]
Alright! It worked!
[ELDERS]
Yay!
Turn it off, turn it off
Turn it off, turn it off
Turn it off, turn it off
Like a light switch just go click (click click!)
What a cool little Mormon trick! (trick trick!)
We do it all the time!
[ELDERS]
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
Turn it
