The Book of Mormon: the Musical - Hasa Diga Eebowai Lyrics
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:
It's the only way to get through all these troubled times.
There's war, poverty, famine...
But having a saying makes it all seem better!
There isn't enough food to eat!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
People are starving in the street!
UGANDANS and MAFALA:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER PRICE:
Well, that's pretty neat!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
DOes it mean no worries for the rest of our days?
MAFALA:
Kind of!
We've had no rain in several days!
UGANDANS:
Hasa DIga Eebowai!
MAFALA:
And 80% of us have AIDS!
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA:
Many young girls here get
Circumcised,
Their clits 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:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA:
When the world is getting you down,
There's 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:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Am I saying it right?
ELDER PRICE:
Excuse me sir,
But what EXACTLY does that phrase mean?
MAFALA:
Well, let's see... "Eebowai" means "God".
And "Hasa Diga" means... "Fuck You".
So I guess in English it would be "Fuck you, God!"
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
ELDER PRICE:
WHAT?!
MAFALA:
When God fucks you in the butt-
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA:
Fuck him right back in his cunt!
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Fuck you, God!
ELDER PRICE:
Excuse me, Sir, but you should really NOT be saying that.
Things aren't always as bad as they seem!
MAFALA:
Oh really? Well take this fucking asshole, 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 aren't many virgins left,
So some of them are turning to babies.
ELDER PRICE:
But... that's horrible!
MAFALA:
I know!
UGANDANS:
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
MAFALA:
Here's the butcher, he has AIDS.
Here's the teacher, she has AIDS.
Here's the doctor, he has AIDS.
Here's my daughter, she has A....
Wonderful disposition.
She's 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 don't like what we say,
Try living here a couple days!
Watch all your friends and family die!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
(Fuck you!)
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth,
And cunt-a
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth,
And cunt-a
Fuck you God in the ass, mouth
And cunt-a
Fuck you in the eye!
Hasa-
Diga Eebowai!
Hasa-
Fuck you in the other eye!
Fuck you!
Fuck you God!
Fuck you!
Fuck you God!
Fuck you!
Fuck you God!
Hasa Diga!
Fuck you God!
In the cunt!
