Wierd Al Yankovic Amish Paradise Lyrics
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 morning 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
Im 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 its 1699
We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
I've churned b___er once or twice
Living in an amish paradise
It's 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 b___ 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 b___ons 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 havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't 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
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
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 b___er
Raised a barn on monday, soon Ill raise anutter
Think you're really righteous?
Think you're 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
We're all crazy mennonites
Living in an amish paradise
Theres no cops or traffic lights
Living in an amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an amish paradise
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-yecch!
