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.
