THE MORMON SUNDAY SCHOOL

Chorus: Young folks, old folks, everybody come. Join the Mormon Sunday School and have a lot of fun. Check your tea and coffee and tobbacky at the door, And you’ll hear some Mormon stories that you’ve never heard before.

Sing the Chorus after each verse.

Lehi was a merchant man, he dealt in food and drugs; He had a thriving business with his oriental rugs. He got the wanderlust and he built himself a ship, And took his wife and family on a long, extended trip.

Laman and Lemuel were the naughty boys. When they were asked to help, they made a lot of noise. Instead of working on the farm, this wild and woolly pair Ran around the countryside with feathers in their hair.

Nephi was a handsome lad, so the stories say; He found a little compass lying there upon the clay. And then he found it only worked when they were being good, So half the time the family spent a-wandering in the woods.

Jarom was given the history book in trust. He laid it on the shelf, and there it gathered dust. He went outside to play is the tale we’ve always heard, And 80 years went by without a solitary word.

Alma and Amulek got thrown in the jug. The people they were talking to thought they were much too smug. Alma didn’t like it and he gave a mighty shout, The prison walls came tumbling down and they came walking out.

Moroni, the First, was the Patriot of his day. The people he was trying to help would rather sit and play. He got so mad he tore his undershirt into a rag, He stuck it on a stick and he made himself a flag.

There were two thousand little Indian boys; And they would rather fight than sit and play with toys. They went to war with Helaman, the man who was their boss, And they fought a dozen battles without a single loss.

Teancum was a spy, to the enemy he went. He found them all drunk and sleeping in their tents. He was a fearless man, and for courage he didn’t lack; He killed a half a dozen before he got it in the back.

Hagoth was a sailor, the best there was afloat. He took the people for a ride in his ferry boat. Then, one day a storm came up and blew them out to sea, Now Hagoth and his passengers are just a memory.

Kishkumen was a robber of the band; He stole and he plundered all across the land. He roamed through the country raising all kinds of heck Until he crossed a Nephite judge and got it in the neck.

Samuel was a prophet of a dark and dusky skin. He preached from the rooftop to the people of their sins. They climbed the roof to get him and make him pay with shame, But he shinnied down a chimney and was gone before they came.

The folks of Jared’s day built a tower to the sky; They spoke in different tongues, and his brother wondered why. They couldn’t understand the neighbors so they sailed away With a dozen little lanterns to guide them on their way.

Coriantumr took his army to the hill. Down below the enemy was waiting for the kill. When the war was over and the dust had settled down, Coriantumr was the only one around.

Moroni was a general, he fought the Lamanite. He took to writing stories on weekends and at night. Then in the midst of battle, just before the final bell, He dropped his book of stories down an old abandoned well.

Young folks, old folks, everybody’s come. You’ve joined the Mormon Sunday School and had a lot of fun. Just leave your tea and coffee and tobbacky where they lay, And we’ll see you back around here in another 7 days.
