Remember the Boy Who Won't Smile?

Apparently he also sings Opera.




For those who can't understand what he's saying, The Lyrics:

Little Purple Pansies dressed in yellow gold,
Growing in the corner of the garden old,
We are very little but must try try try,
For if someone steps on us we'll die die die!

In case you were wondering, no, those aren't the original lyrics for that well beloved Primary Song. Those are the updated, patented Funny Farm lyrics. We don't even know the original lyrics anymore.

Is it bad that I like the new, violent ones better?





Believe it or not, all of this transpired BEFORE the treats were served.

  1. Is he actually saying words? Maybe you better type up those lyrics I can't tell what the heck he is saying. This is the Nathan I know.:)

  2. Crazy!!! Did he smile after the performance? They sure have animation, especially Megan.

    Lisa, the post you made yesterday did not post.

  7. Dude. I do not know that primary song. Is it still in use? Must go search and see if I have completely lost my mind.

  8. Ok. It is in the song book. I have lost my mind or during my primary days, wise primary choristers knew that super-girlie, old-fashioned ditty would go over like a lead balloon. I really hope it was the latter.

    I found the real words: http://library.lds.org/nxt/gateway.dll/Curriculum/music.htm/childrens%20songbook.htm/nature%20and%20seasons.htm/little%20purple%20pansies.htm#JD_CS.244

    Hmmm, no idea how to make that clickable. You all must cut and paste which is so annoying, I know.

  9. There were eight of us kids back in the day when Pretty Purple Pansies was on the menu during primary on a regular basis--this reminds me so much of a number of family nights we endured, er, enjoyed. Fun fun fun!
