Lyrics
0:00You all know the Bible
0:02Is made of Testaments old and new
0:06You've been told it's just those two parts
0:09Or only one if you're a Jew
0:13But what if I were to tell you
0:15There's a fresh third part out there
0:19Which was found by a hip new prophet
0:22Who had a little Donny Osmond flair
0:31Have you heard of the All American Prophet
0:35The blonde haired blue eyed voice of God
0:38He didn't come from the Middle East
0:41Like those other holy men
0:43No God's favorite prophet was All American
0:49I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times 1823
0:52An American man named Joe living on a farm
0:55In the holy land of Rochester New York
0:57You mean the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith
1:00That's right that young man spoke to God
1:02He spoke to God and God said
1:04Joe people really need to know that the Bible
1:06Isn't two parts there's a part three to the Bible Joe
1:09And I God have anointed you to dig up this part three
1:12That is buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard
1:15Wow God says go to your backyard and start digging
1:18That makes perfect sense
1:20Joseph Smith went up on that hill
1:21And dug where he was told
1:24And deep in the ground
1:25Joseph found shining plates of gold
1:28What are these Golden Plates
1:30Who buried them here and why
1:32Then appeared an Angel
1:34His name was Moroni I am Moroni
1:40The All American Angel
1:42All American
1:43My people lived here long long ago
1:47This is a history of my race
1:50Please read the words within
1:51We were Jews who met with Christ
1:53But we were All American
1:57But don't let anybody see these plates except for you
2:02They are only for you to see
2:06Even if people ask you
2:07To show the Plates to them don't
2:11Just copy them onto normal paper
2:15Even though this might make them question
2:16If the Plates are real or not
2:20This is sort of what God is going for
2:25Joseph took the Plates home
2:27And wrote down what he found inside
2:29He turned those Plates into a book
2:31Then he rushed into town and cried
2:33Hey God spoke to me and gave me
2:35This blessed ancient tome
2:37He hath commanded me to publish it
2:39And stick it in every home
2:42Wow so the Bible is actually a trilogy
2:45And The Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi
2:48I'm interested
2:50Now many people didn't believe the Prophet Joseph Smith
2:54They thought he'd made up this part three
2:56That was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard
2:58Liar but joe said this is no lie
3:01Speak to God all the time
3:02And he told me to head West
3:04So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree
3:06Feel free if you'd like to come along with me
3:08To the Promised Land
3:09The Promised Land
3:11Paradise on the West Coast
3:12Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can see
3:18Have you heard of the All American Prophet
3:23He found a brand new book about Jesus Christ
3:27We are following him to Paradise
3:29We call ourselves Mormon
3:31And our new religion is All American
3:36Wow how much does it cost
3:39The Mormons kept on searching for
3:41That place to settle down
3:43And every time they thought they'd found it
3:45They got kicked out of town
3:47And even though people wanted
3:49To see the Golden Plates
3:51Joseph never showed them
3:54I have maggots in my scrotum
4:03Umm okay well anyway
4:06Now comes the part of our story
4:09That get a little bit sad
4:13On the way to the Promised Land
4:15Mormons made people mad
4:19Joseph was shot by an angry mob
4:22And knew he'd soon be done
4:26You must lead the people now
4:29My good friend Brigham Young
4:35Oh God why are you letting me die
4:40Without having me show people the Plates
4:44They'll have no proof I was telling the truth or not
4:48They'll have to believe it just because
4:53Oh I guess that's kinda what you were going for
5:00Oh
5:02The Prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in
5:07But as followers they kept heading West
5:10And Brigham Young led them to Paradise
5:13A sparkling land in Utah they called Salt Lake City
5:19And there the Mormons multiplied
5:22And made big Mormon families
5:25Generation to generation
5:28Until finally they made me
5:31And now it's my job to lead you
5:34Where those early settlers were led long ago
5:40Have you heard of the All American Prophet
5:43Kevin Price
5:44The next in line to be the voice of God
5:47My best friend
5:48He's gonna do something incredible
5:51And be Joseph Smith again
5:53Because Kevin Price the Prophet is All All All American
6:02If you order now
6:03We'll also throw in a set of steak knives
6:06All American
