Seminary teachers from North Peoria, Arizona woke up their early morning classes with a fun parody of the hit song, “Uptown Funk,” by Bruno Mars.

 

====== LYRICS ======
by Jared Johnson

This one’s for the real cool, those Mormon kids in high school
This one’s for those freshman, those sophomores, those upperclassman

Snorin’, droolin’, it ain’t looking too pretty
If you’re showin’ up, better show on time
‘Cause class starts at 5-fiddy (5:50)

I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
We’re gonna feel the Spirit, yeah
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
If you talk too much, you won’t hear it, yeah
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
We testify that the Church is true
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
Yeah, we do it all for you

Mom sent you, Hallelujah
Dad sent you, Hallelujah
Your bishop sent you, Hallelujah
Cause Seminary Funk gonna give it to ya
Seminary Funk gonna give it to ya
It’s early morning and we’re at the church, don’t believe me, just watch

Don’t believe me, just watch

Stop! Wait a minute
It’s devotional, put some feeling in it!
We’re talking ’bout Church history
The pioneers in D&C (Doctrine & Covenants)
They went from Kirtland, to Missouri, Nauvoo, then Salt Lake City
Those early Saints, they were cold and hungry
They didn’t have a “fresh jar o’ Skippy”

I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
We got candy, muffins and donuts, yeah
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
We got cheesy jokes, that’s a bonus, yeah
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
We got games for scripture mastery
I’m too tired. (Wake up!)
Yeah, we do it all for free

Girls, tell me Hallelujah
Guys, tell me Hallelujah
Teachers, tell me Hallelujah
Cause Seminary Funk gonna give it to ya
Seminary Funk gonna give it to ya
It’s early morning and we’re at the church, don’t believe me just watch

Don’t believe me, just watch

Oh, what do you do in the summertime
When you get to sleep in and you’re feeling sublime
It might sound great, but it won’t be the same
I got a blank space, baby, and I’ll write your name

Seminary wake you up, seminary wake you up

Chase! Jump on it
If you know your scriptures, then flaunt it
If you’re righteous, then own it
If you’re livin’ the life, then show it

Chase! Jump on it
If you know your scriptures, then flaunt it
It’s early morning and we’re at the church, don’t believe me just watch

Don’t believe me, just watch

Seminary wake you up, seminary wake you up

Shout out to the Peoria Arizona North Stake
Liberty High School and Basis, we never go out of style
Take me to church, comin’ at ya like a dark horse
Give it up one more time for your teachers in seminary!
