lyrics

DON'T STAND UP BEFORE ME
Parody of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by The Police

See here for some context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPBsWbopjXU

Young apostle
The subject
Dave Bednar is his name
Speaks at a
church meeting
Outranks all those who came
It's over
they're waitin'
to leave and shake some hands
His wife has
the gall to
get up before he stands

Don't stand
Don't stand up
Don't stand up before me

He can get
so zealous
You know, how Packer was
He'll bless a
congregation
then take it back, just 'cause
If he gets
mad, he might
make someone's head roll by
Just like that
young man in
that book of 1st Nephi

Don't stand
Don't stand up
Don't stand up before me

He must have
you honor
his power and priesthood
He cares for
rules and status
You know, like Jesus would
He claims no
gay Mormons
Of course, you know there are
Someday he
might be Prophet
Arm raised, shout, "Heil, Bednar!"

Don't stand
Don't stand up
Don't stand up before me

Don't you dare stand before me
