Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think our collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think we're the church
The church who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one corporate sole hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, they've got everything
We've got ranches and temples a-plenty
We've got hotels and land-plots galore
You want media outlets?
We've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
We want more

We wanna be where the people are
We wanna see, wanna see them shoppin'
Spending all their money on - what do you call 'em?
Oh - things!

Preaching about Christ you don't get too far
Companies are required for cash flows, investing
Think what money a giant retail shopping center
BRINGS!

Out where they shop, out where they spend
Out where there are businesses with which we could lend
Taxable free - wish we could be
Part of that world

What would we give if we could live without spiritual demands?
What would we pay to spend a day without preaching?
Bet'cha real companies understand
That they make money without guilty leaching
Proper businesses sick of hiding
Ready to stand

And ready to sell what the people want
Instead of just peddling all these fake answers
What's a Holy Ghost and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it our turn?
Wouldn't we love, love to explore that world legitimately?
Out of a church
Wish we could be
Part of that world

It truly brings a tear to my eye.

Do you think the 1stP and Q12 sing it as they wallow in the upper room of the temple - the one piled high with gobs of cash & stock certificates?

For a scaly, reptilian deity who has lost his relevance, you sure came up with one hell of a song there...

Somebody should sing this at the next ward talent show :D Raptor J, your powers truly astound!! I bow to your superior talent.
I think "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin would make another wonderful parody, cause you know you ain't never had a friend like LD$ Inc. The one "friend" you can never, EVER get rid of......

OMG! I have to admit, I have imagined him using his dinglehopper. As have the both of you now, XYZ and RJ.

Drink it in.

Great lyrics, Raptor J. Disneyism is a crossover religion between Mormonism and consumerism. It's a natural fit that doesn't have to be "shoehorned." heh, heh

I love parodies. It just so happens that my daughter is obssessed with Ariel, too!

Keep them coming!

That was beautiful! I loved The Little Mermaid. I used to sing that song all the time as a kid but with the original lyrics, though.
