We Are Dead!

When a missionary completes his 2 year service and returns home, the other missionaries say he is "dead" or he has "died." The companion at the time of his "death" is known as "the one who 'killed' the returning missionary.

Now, as a tribute to Elder Mumford's honorable "death," here is a fun song, written by the "late" Elder Cook, and the now "dead" Elder Mumford.

We Are Dead

(By Elder Mumford and Elder Cook)

(Sung to the tune of “Be Our Guest” from “Beauty and the Beast”)

We are dead, we are dead,

We don’t have to go to bed

At 10:30; now 6:30

Is our sleeping time instead.

We can date, not too late.

Did she leave, or did she wait?

Temple marriage, baby carriage:

They are starting to sound great!

Have our own mobile phone!

It’s ok to be alone.

When we’re done, we’ll have some fun

Or so they’ve said...

So let’s get in our car and drive out really far!

We are dead, we are dead, we are dead!

[Japanese Accent]

[No more dendo. Play nintendo!

This is missionary end-o]

Now let’s go back and find our future newlywed!

So we’ll just pack our bags

And put away our tags.

We are dead, we are dead,

Go home because we’re dead!

We are dead, we are dead, we are dead!
