The Mindy Song, transcribed by Tallyhead Ryan
The lyrics (as far as I can tell)
There was a little girl who came to our town
to write for NBC.
She had big brown eyes and shiny black hair
that all the boys wanted to see.
Mindy Kaling! They see her name
she writes those words that make you laugh
Mindy Kaling! She came to our town
she writes for NBC.
Well that Moroccan Christmas was a pretty fun show
She wrote that one…No she didn’t oh
Well I can’t believe everything I hear
Well it was Lecture Circuit part 1 and part 2
it had us pissin’ in our pants
Well we laughed so hard I fell to the ground
I said that Kaling can make me laugh.
(dance solo)
Well that B.J. Novak he’s pretty funny too
and in the first season he wrote a thing or two
Called Diversity Day
And I remember I also pissed in my pants.
Well the writers on the show they know they gotta go
They got 3 days off and they start it all over.
They never stop writing I don’t know how they do it
so looooong.
Yeah, big shout out to the writers!
(cheering)
Well my personal favorite is Mr. Paul Feig
Damn he looks good when he comes all dressed up on our set
He looks pretty spiffy!
Well I got a sad little note I’d like to share with you
We’re gonna miss Michael (someone) when we come back
Oh I’m sorry
Love you Michael, and uh have a good life.
End of song =)
Any chance you could get lyrics on there? I wasn’t sure what he was saying in some of it.
Well that video was pure FUN. Thanks Tanster.
I’m still wondering if you were able to fulfill my picture request?
I’ll be hummin’ and tappin’ my foot all day! thanks.
That was awesome! I couldn’t catch all the words, but I was toe tappin’ and hand clappin’ right along with them. Oh, and Mindy’s dancing is so cute!
Creed is my fave (and I like everyone in the cast!). He was in a band back in the 70s called the Grass Roots, they had some great songs. Creed always has the funniest lines, somehow he does a lot with his gestures and expressions. He is the best!!!
Tanster…we are living vicariously through you!!! You are one lucky chick! Any chance you post the words to the song, if you know them? Also, I totally thought that was Oprah behind Mindy at first – ha ha ha! I love Andy more and more all the time. Banjo is dang hard! Thanks for posting!
I still can’t get over how good of a Bluegrass player Ed Helms is.
Come on, someone HAS to be writing this stuff for them. How is it possible for this cast and crew to be so ridiculously awesome and quirky?!
Ed and Creed are so seriously amazing it almost hurts!
“she had us pissing in our pants”
I about died! That was awesome!
Thanks Tanster. :)
I Want to work there soooo bad!!! I wonder if they will hire an inexperienced 20 year old?? Hmmmmm…..
Awesome song! What makes it funnier was that it was improvised!!
that was f-ing awesome. i was pissing in my pants, and then i pissed in my pants again.
Awesome! Creed is truly the best, and Andy is very good with his banjo!
You are the most lucky person in the world, Tanster, and you deserve it :P

[from tanster: ryan, thank you SO MUCH for the transcription. you are awesome!]
I love this! Sooo cute. Man they are so good, and if that was improv, which I’m sure it was, then wow.
I also loved that for the first minute and a half you could see Jenna Fischer walking back and forth in the backround a few times, she looked like she was lost lol
Hilarious video! Thanks for sharing this fun moment!
I am always seeing Mindy and BJ with each other. They must be best of friends…or they could be a couple! Hey tanster, perhaps you can shed some light on this ;).
It’s completely ridiculous that anyone can be that talented…I’m in awe of that whole crew!
I love BJ’s sense of humour, so sharp and kinda morbid. “That’s been happening a lot Creed…” when Creed mentions pissing his pants again
jenna’s stunt double also makes an appearance! i seriously thought that was jenna until i read the q&a.
wait a sec… just watched it again… 2 people who looked like jenna crossed in the background: one with a visor, one without. one of them was jenna… which one?!
The second one……without the visor….i think….
Link
not Jenna?
Link
Jenna?
WAIT! I change my answer. the first one is Jenna. The second is her stunt double (this is according to My mom)
Tanster, you are so lucky! Haha Ed and Creed are amazing…so much natural talent!
