Missionary Parody: Hey There Delilah (I'm at the MTC)
Комедия
Lyrics:
Hey there Delilah, what's it like at BYU?
I'm just a quarter mile away, but feel so far away from you,
But that'll do,
Cause two years from now Ill be with you,
I know that's true.
Hey there Delilah, don't you worry about the distance,
A few more months and I can call you both on Mother's Day and Christmas.
Close your eyes,
Then just think of suits and ties,
But not other guys.
Cause, you said you'd wait for me,
Oh, you said you'd wait for me,
Oh, and I'm at the MTC,
Oh, I'm at the MTC, at the MTC.
Now have some patience and don't think of dating Conner,
Two more years you may be done with school,
But I'll return with honor.
I can't wait,
Just two more years till our next date,
It will be great.
Oh when you told me I was the love of your life,
And I just held you close and kissed you just like I'll kiss my wife.
We said goodbye,
And I gave you my favorite tie,
There's no need to cry.
Cause, you said you'd wait for me,
O, you said you'd wait for me,
O, and I'm at the MTC,
O, I'm at the MTC, at the MTC.
There were RMs who made fun of me and said you'll never wait for me,
To them I say "oh ye of little faith."
Cause we've been dating for two months and I think that that's long enough,
To know someone enough to feel this way.
I carry your picture with me and talk about you constantly,
I'm driving my companion insane,
And you're to blame.
Woke up this morning, checked the mail right at dawn,
And just believe me girl how shocked I was to read those words,
"Dear John, I think we're through,
I met a guy better than you,
Go ahead and cry if you want to,
Sincerely Delilah, missing you,
P.S. We're through."
Oh, you did'nt wait for me,
Oh, you didn't wait for me,
Oh, you didn't wait for me,
Oh, and I'm only at the MTC, at the MTC

My generation did these same funny, wonderful things. The difference is that we didn't have a thousand cameras to capture it.
"don't you think of dating Conner. "
This is so funny! hahaha I'm so going to share this with my missionary once he comes back from his mission!
This made me smile! Let's go missionaries! Nice voice!
I see a future RM with crippling commitment issues.
This is way too cute!! Good job Elders!!
A couple of Elders in my ward sung this for our talent show!
Kkkkk .. I had the pleasure of knowing this beast here in Brasil.São Vicente.São Paul!! Friend and so much! Large conversations afternoons lunch at home! Big hug from your friend ever!! Jose de Oliveira!!
Congrats Kelsey. You will love Brazil. The people, the food, the soccer etc. Stay close to the Lord and your mission will be the best experience of your life.
This is so great and funny! This young man or these two men, two elders did such a great job!!!! Just love this! Thank you, young men elders!
Thats so cute!!!! I lived it it gave me a smile for once since april
My missionary and I started dating when we were 16. Now he's been gone 2 months. I am so proud of him!
2009 was a magical time.... wow it's 2020. WOW. I was so young then. I'm not even old, but I FEEL old.
This is really cute and funny!
Sao Paulo Brazil South It was fantastic
Absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and making me laugh! What awesome missionaries!
I'm honestly impressed by the creativity
This is great guys!! Laughing the whole way through!
Aw I would so wait for this guy! This is so sweet.
i love love love this! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
Please make some more videos!! Love it!
So cool I love it.showing everyone in Perth Western Australia
I watch this so many times a day, and I still laugh in my chair!
I think you really captured the essence of the Dear John/ Dear Elder letter and what it can do to a poor you missionary. Ladies, don’t do this to those young men who at the time are so special to you. Don’t make a promise you can’t keep. Send them off to where they need to be, and if it’s meant to happen, you’ll still love him just as much in two years as you did before he left. If not, then neither of you will get your hearts broken.
LOVE this!
The is the best song out their. I named my car after this song. :)
an elder sang the normal 'hey there delilah' to me and i love it but seriously i love this version so much better ... flippin hilarious!!
I love this, it is awesome.... I love it! Very GREAT!

My favorite!!
so great!!! I can't believe I haven't heard this.
I love this song soo much! I told some missionaries about it today and they had heard about it!!
I have a friend who is like a brother to me going on a mission to Chile, so I love this song. And since I would always sing various songs to him (the original by Plain White Ts included) this makes me miss him even more.
I love this song! The original and this one!
hahaha.. you guys made me think about my missionary (some years ago), now he's my husband but I'm sure he thought this same things by then.
This is amazing!
Poor missionary fella.
This is delightful.
I love this!
LOL!!! I love this too funny...Awesome video!
I just got back from my second year at Girls Camp today.... it was one of the most spiritual experiences I've ever had, being up in the mountains away from this computer and other distractions in the world, closer then ever to our Heavenly Father. I'm Mormon and proud of it!
Can't wait to get my dear John letter. Great video!
SO FUNNY!!! Thanks for posting!
I LOVED THIS SONG!!!! oh, man. . . who ever sang it, thank them!!!!!
That's awesome. Love it!!
Yeah, I think I should do that :Dthaks!
so amazing!
This is so good!
Great job Elders!
Not Mormon but have been giggling all day at some of the BYU stuff; you guys (and gals!) have a special sort of visible joy. Thanks for being cool enough to poke a little fun at yourselves and give some of us non-religion types (that's no invite for a knock on my door now...) a nice view into your world. Some of my friends might bash this but maybe your absence from your sweethearts during mission times make for quite strong marriages. You sort of learn what has staying power before the leap.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

This is GOLDEN
