Original Broadway Production (2011)
The Book of Mormon: the Musical - Baptize Me Lyrics

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I'm about to do it for the first time.
And I'm gonna do it with a girl!
A special girl-
Who makes my heart kind of flutter-
Makes my eyes kind of blur-
I can't believe I'm about
To baptize her!

NABULUNGI:
He will baptize me!
He will hold me in his arms,
And he will baptize me!
Right in front of everyone
And it will set me free-
When he looks into my eyes.
And he sees just how much
I love being baptized...

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I'm gonna baptize her!

NABULUNGI:
Baptize me!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Bathe her in God's glory!
And I will baptize her-

NABULUNGI:
I'm ready.

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
-With everything I got.
And I'll make her beg for more,

NABULUNGI:
Oooh,

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
As I wash her free of sin.
And it'll be so good,
She'll want me to

ELDER CUNNINGHAM and NABULUNGI:
Baptize her/me again.

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Excuse me, I'm gonna need another minute!

NABULUNGI:
Never known a boy to gentle,
One like him is hard to find.
A special kind.
Who makes my heart kind of flutter,
Like a moth in a cocoon.
I hope he gets to baptizin' me soon!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I'm gonna baptize you.
I'm through with all my stalling.

NABULUNGI:
You're gonna baptize me.
I'm ready to let you do it.

BOTH:
And it will set us free.
It's time to be immersed.
And I'm so happy you're
About to be my first.

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Okay, you ready?

NABULUNGI:
I am ready.  So... how do we do it?

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
Well, I hold you like this-

NABULUNGI:
Yeah?

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
And I lower you down-

NABULUNGI:
Yeah?

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
And then I-

(splash)

I just baptized her!
She got doused by Heavenly Father!
I just baptized her good!

NABULUNGI:
You baptized me!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I performed like a champ!

NABULUNGI:
I'm wet with salvation!

BOTH:
We just went all the way!
Praise be to God,
I'll never forget this day...

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I baptized you!

NABULUNGI:
You baptized me!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
I gotcha good!

NABULUNGI:
Baptize me!

ELDER CUNNINGHAM:
You want it more, baby?

NABULUNGI:
Baptize me!

I'll text you later.
