[00:11] | As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain |
[00:14] | I take a look at my wife and realize she’s 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! |
