Amish Paradise |
| As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain |
| I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain |
| But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me |
| You know, I shun fancy things like electricity |
| At 4:30 in the mornin' I’m milkin' cows |
| Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool |
| And I’ve been milkin' and plowin' so long that |
| Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone |
| I’m a man of the land, I’m into discipline |
| Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin |
| But if I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine |
| Then tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1699 |
| We been spending most our lives |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| I’ve churned butter once or twice |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| It’s hard work and sacrifice |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| We sell quilts at discount price |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| A local boy kicked me in the butt last week |
| I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek |
| I really don’t care, in fact I wish him well |
| 'Cause I’ll be laughing my head off when he’s burning in Hell |
| But I ain’t never punched a tourist even if he deserved it |
| An Amish with a 'tude? |
| You know that’s unheard of |
| I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat |
| And my homies agree, I really look good in black, fool |
| If you come to visit, you’ll be bored to tears |
| We haven’t even paid the phone bill in 300 years |
| But we ain’t really quaint, so please don’t point and stare |
| We’re just technologically impaired |
| There’s no phone, no lights, no motorcar |
| Not a single luxury |
| Like Robinson Crusoe |
| It’s as primitive as can be |
| We been spending most our lives |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| We’re just plain and simple guys |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| There’s no time for sin and vice |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| We don’t fight, we all play nice |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| Hitchin' up the buggy, churning lots of butter |
| Raised a barn on Monday, soon I’ll raise another |
| Think you’re really righteous? |
| Think you’re pure in heart? |
| Well, I know I’m a million times as humble as thou art |
| I’m the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like |
| On my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife |
| So don’t be vain and don’t be whiny |
| Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie |
| We been spending most our lives |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| We’re all crazy Mennonites |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| There’s no cops and traffic lights |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| But you’d probably think it bites |
| Living in an Amish paradise |
| (Oooooh Ooooooh… yech!) |
