In this part of Africa, we all have a saying
Whenever something bad happens
We just throw our hands to the sky and say "Hasa Diga Eebowai!"
Hasa Diga Eebowai?
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
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Well, that's pretty neat!
Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days?
Kind of!
We've had no rain in several days (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
And eighty percent of us have AIDS (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Many young girls here get circumcised
Their clits get cut right off (Way oh!)
And so we say up to the sky
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Now you try! 
Just stand up tall, tilt your head to the sky
And list off the bad things in your life
Somebody took our luggage away (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
The plane was crowded and the bus was late (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
When the world is getting you down
There's nobody else to blame (Way oh!)
Raise your middle finger to the sky
And curse his rotten name
Wait, what?
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
Am I saying that right? (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Excuse me, sir
But what exactly does that phrase mean?
Well, let's see "Eebowai" means "God"
And 'Hasa Diga' means "Fuck you" 
So I guess in English it would be 
"Fuck you, God!"
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
What?!
When God fucks you in the butt (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Fuck God right back in His cunt (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Hasa Diga Eebowai! (Fuck you, God!)
Hasa Diga Eebowai! (Fuck you, God!)
Excuse me, sir, but you should really not be saying that
Things aren't always as bad as they seem
Oh, really? Well, take this fucking asshole, Mutumbo, here
He got caught last week trying to rape a baby
What!? Why?
Some people in his tribe believe that having sex with a virgin will cure their AIDS
There aren't many virgins left, so some of them are turning to babies
But that's horrible!
I know!
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
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!
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!
Fuck you, God, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Fuck you, God, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a
Fuck you, God, in the ass, mouth, and cunt-a (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Fuck you in the other eye!
Fuck you, fuck you, God (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Fuck you, fuck you, God (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Fuck you, fuck you, God (Hasa Diga Eebowai!)
Hasa Diga!
Fuck you, God!
In the cunt!

'Hasa Diga Eebowai' Featuring Ta’Rea Campbell, John Eric Parker, Darlesia Cearcy, Tommar Wilson, Maia Nkenge Wilson, Brian Tyree Henry, Tyson Jennette, Lawrence Stallings, Rema Webb, Nikki M. James, Michael James Scott, Michael Potts, Andrew Rannells & Josh Gad
Songwriters: Trey Parker (Cannibal! The Musical), Matt Stone (Orgazmo), and Robert Lopez (Frozen)


The Book of Mormon is a musical comedy with music, lyrics and book by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone.

First staged in 2011, the play is a satirical examination of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' beliefs and practices that ultimately endorses the positive power of love and service. Parker and Stone were best known for creating the animated comedy South Park; Lopez had co-written the music for the musical Avenue Q.

The Book of Mormon follows two Latter-day Saints missionaries as they attempt to preach the faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village. The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest from the locals, who are distracted by more pressing issues such as HIV/AIDS, famine, female genital mutilation, and oppression from the local warlord.

In 2003, after Parker and Stone saw Avenue Q, they met with the musical's co-writer Lopez and began developing the musical, meeting sporadically for several years. Parker and Stone grew up in Colorado, and references to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been commonplace in their previous works. For research, the trio took a trip to Salt Lake City to meet with current and former Mormon missionaries. Beginning in 2008, developmental workshops were staged. The show's producers, Scott Rudin and Anne Garefino, opted to open the show directly on Broadway.

The show opened on Broadway in March 2011, after nearly seven years of development. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded indifferently; however, they did purchase advertising space in its playbill in later runs. The Book of Mormon garnered overwhelmingly positive critical responses, and set records in ticket sales for the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. The show was awarded nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. The original Broadway cast recording became the highest-charting Broadway cast album in over four decades, reaching number three on the Billboard charts. In 2013, the musical premiered in the West End, followed by two US national tours. A production in Melbourne and the first non-English version, in Stockholm, both opened in January 2017. Productions in Oslo and Copenhagen followed.

The Book of Mormon has grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most successful musicals of all time.

As of July 27, 2019, it is the 14th longest-running Broadway show surpassing 42nd Street.

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
