First of all, I have to say that for me this TV sitcom theme song has become inextricably connected to this video from comedian Rob Paravonian:



Second of all, my apologies to the Quaker community. This song was on a loop in my mind all throughout our last Church History class, and the only plausible remedy was to unleash a song parody unto the world. I do so in the spirit of peace and musical mnemonic devices.


The Society of F·R·I·E·N·D·S

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
In fact it's true, no one said anything all day
But who needs speech when we've got God to hear?
Wait and listen for a day each week, each month of every year, 'cause...

There's a Light in you
(That you shouldn't ignore)
There's a Light in you
(The divine's at your core)
There's a Light in you
(And there's one in me too)

The churches' doctrine battles made George Fox irate
He preached his own ideas by 1648
And Will Penn brought this stuff across the seas
So then Pennsylvania was the place for Quakers to meet in peace

There's a Light in you
(That you shouldn't ignore)
There's a Light in you
(The divine's at your core)
There's a Light in you
(And there's one in me too)

No one could ever agree
No one could e'er be friendly
So pacifism is our way of living happ'ly
Have Friends to face the day wth,
Quake it through all our quests with,
And Friends we'll always laugh with -
Except we'll do that silently too, yeah

But who needs speech when we've got God to hear?
Wait and listen for a day each week, each month of every year...

There's a Light in you
(That you shouldn't ignore)
There's a Light in you
(The divine's at your core)
There's a Light in you
(And there's one in me too)

There's a Light in you
There's a Light in you
There's a Light in you
(And there's one in me too)
