Amish Paradise

[Verse 1] 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 milking cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool And I've been milking and plowing 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] A local boy kicked me in the butt last week I just smiled at him and 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 [Bridge] There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar Not a single luxury Like Robinson Crusoe It's as primitive as can be [Hook] [Verse 3] Hitching 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 [Hook] 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
