Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. Kind friends, as here I stand to singAnd look into your eyes,I feel as if I have insideA dozen butterflies;But never mind, for I’m a boyWho’s always full of joy—A brave and willing sort of chap—An honest Mormon boy.

A Mormon boy, a Mormon boy,I am a Mormon boy;I might be envied by a king,For I am a Mormon boy.

2. I’m proud to know that I was bornOn earth in these last days,That I’ve been taught to love the truthAnd serve in many ways;Yet I confess that sometimes IStill manage to annoyMy dearest friends, but that’s a faultOf many a Mormon boy.

A Mormon boy, a Mormon boy,I am a Mormon boy;I might be envied by a king,For I am a Mormon boy.

3. My father is a Mormon true,And when I am a man,I want to be like him and doJust all the good I can.My faults I’ll try to overcome,And while I life enjoy,With pride I’ll lift my head and say,“I am a Mormon boy.”

A Mormon boy, a Mormon boy,I am a Mormon boy;I might be envied by a king,For I am a Mormon boy.
