I got a feeling,
That you could be feeling,
A whole lot better
then you feel today
You say you got a problem,
well that’s no problem,
It's super easy
not to feel that way!
When you start
to get confused because
of thoughts in your head,
Don't feel those feelings!
Hold them in instead
Turn it off,
like a light switch
just go click!
It's a cool little
Mormon trick!
We do it all the time
When your feeling
certain feelings
that just don't feel right
Treat those
pesky feelings
like a reading light
and turn em off,
Like a light switch
just go bap!
Really what’s
so hard about that?
Turn it off! (Turn it off!)
When I was young my dad,
Would treat my mom
real bad,
every time the Utah Jazz
would lose.
He'd start a' drinking,
and I'd start a thinking,
How am I gonna
keep my mom
from getting abused?
I'd see her all scared
and my soul was dying,
My dad would say to me,
Now don't you dare start crying.
Turn it off,
Like a light switch just go click!
It's our nifty little Mormon trick!
Turn it off! Turn. It. Off!
My Sister was a dancer,
but she got cancer,
The doctor said she still had
two months more
I thought she had time,
so I got in line
for the new iphone
at the apple store.
She lay there dying with my
father and mother
Her very last words were
"where is my brother?"
(Turn it off!) Yeah!
(Bid those sad feelings adieu!)
The fear I might get cancer too,
(laughter)
When I was in fifth grade,
I had a friend Steve Blade,
He and I were close
as two friends could be
One thing led to another,
and soon I would discover,
I was having really strange
feelings for Steve
I thought about us,
on a deserted Island
We'd swim naked in the sea,
and then he'd try and...
WOAH!
Turn if off,
like a light switch,
there it’s gone! (Good for you!)
My hetero side just won!
I'm all better now,
Boys should be with girls
that’s heavenly fathers plan
So if you ever feel
you’d rather be with a man,
Turn it off.
PRICE: Well Elder McKinley,
I think its ok
that your having gay thoughts,
just so long as you never
act on them.
MCKINLEY: No,
because then you’re
just keeping it down,
Like a dimmer switch on low,
(On low!)
Thinking nobody needs to know!
(Uh oh!)
PRICE: But that's not true!
MCKINLEY: Being gay is bad,
but lying is worse,
So just realize
you have a curable curse,
And turn it off!
(Turn it off)
(Break)
(clap, clap)
Turn it off!
Now how do you feel!
PRICE: The same
MCKINLEY: Then you
only got yourself to blame,
You didn't pretend hard enough,
Imagine that your brain
is made of tiny boxes,
and find the box that’s gay
and CRUSH IT!
Ok?
PRICE: No, no,
I'm not having gay thoughts
CUNNINGHAM: Alright! It worked!
(Yay!)
(Turn it off!)
(Turn it off, Turn it off!)
turn it off, like a light switch
just go click click!
What a cool
little Mormon Trick!
(Trick trick!)
(We do it all the time!)
MCKINLEY: When you're
feeling certain feelings
that just don't seem right!
Treat those pesky feelings
like a reading light!
And Turn it off! (Like a light switch,
On a cord)
(Now he isn't gay any!...)
(Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it...!)
(Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it...!)
(Tur-ur-urn it...)
MCKINLEY: Turn it off!
