As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain But thats just perfect for an amish like me You know I shun fancy things like electricity At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows... fool And Ive been milkin and plowin so long that Even ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone Im a man of the land, Im 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 were gonna party like its 1699
We been spending most our lives Living in an amish paradise Ive churned butter once or twice Living in an amish paradise Its hard work and sacrifice Living in an amish paradise We sell quilts at a 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 dont care, in fact I wish him well cause Ill be laughing my head off when hes burning in hell But I aint never punched a tourist even if he deserved it An amish with a tude? You know thats 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, youll be bored to tears We havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years But we aint really quaint, so please dont point and stare Were just technologically impaired
Theres no phone, no lights, no motorcar Not a single luxury Like robinson caruso Its as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives Living in an amish paradise Were just plain and simple guys Living in an amish paradise Theres no time for sin and vice Living in an amish paradise We dont fight, we all play nice Living in an amish paradise
Hitchin up the buggy, churnin lots of butter Raised a barn on monday, soon Ill raise anutter Think youre really righteous? Think youre pure in heart? Well, I know Im a million time as humble as thou art Im the pious guy the little amlettes wanna be like On my knees day and night scorin points for the afterlife So dont be vain and dont 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 Were all crazy mennonites Living in an amish paradise Theres no cops or traffic lights Living in an amish paradise But youd probably think it bites Living in an amish paradise
