Original Broadway Production (2011) 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!
