Lyrics

[00:11] As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
[00:14] I take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain
[00:17] But thats just perfect for an Amish like me
[00:20] You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
[00:23] At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows
[00:26] Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
[00:29] And Ive been milkin and plowin so long that
[00:32] Even Ezekiel things that my mind is gone
[00:35] Im a man of the land, Im into discipline
[00:38] Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
[00:41] But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
[00:44] Then tonight were gonna party like its 1699
[00:47] Weve been spending most our lives
[00:50] Living in an Amish paradise
[00:53] Ive churned butter once or twice
[00:55] Living in an Amish paradise
[00:59] Its hard work and sacrifice
[01:01] Living in an Amish paradise
[01:05] We sell quilts at discount price
[01:07] Living in an Amish paradise
[01:10] A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
[01:13] I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
[01:16] I really dont care, in fact I wish him well
[01:19] Cause Ill be laughing my head off when hes burning in hell
[01:22] But I aint never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
[01:25] An Amish with a tude? You know thats unheard of
[01:28] I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat
[01:31] And my homeys agree I really look good in black... fool
[01:33] If you come to visit, youll be bored to tears
[01:36] We havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years
[01:39] But we aint really quaint so please dont point and stare
[01:42] Were just technologically impaired
[01:45] Theres no phone, no lights, no motorcar
[01:48] Not a single luxury
[01:51] Like Robinson Caruso
[01:54] Its as primitive as can be
[01:58] Weve been spending most our lives
[02:00] Living in an Amish paradise
[02:03] Were just plain and simple guys
[02:05] Living in an Amish paradise
[02:09] Theres no time for sin and vice
[02:11] Living in an Amish paradise
[02:15] We dont fight, we all play nice
[02:17] Living in an Amish Paradise
[02:21] Hitchin up the buggy, churnin lots of butter
[02:23] Raise a barn on Monday, soon Ill raise anutter
[02:26] Think youre really righteous? Think youre pure in heart?
[02:29] Well, I know Im a million times as humble as thou art
[02:32] Im the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
[02:35] On my knees day and night scorin points for the afterlife
[02:39] So dont be vain and dont be whiny
[02:41] Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
[02:44] Weve been spending most our lives
[02:46] Living in an Amish paradise
[02:50] Were all crazy Mennonites
[02:52] Living in an Amish paradise
[02:55] Theres no cops or traffic lights
[02:58] Living in an Amish paradise
[03:01] But youd probably think it bites
[03:04] Living in an Amish paradise
[03:07] Ah oh oh oh, oh oh oh.
[03:13] Ah oh oh oh, oh oh YECCH!
