"weird al" yankovic - amish paradise (2022 version) lyrics
[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 mornin’, 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
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
[chorus]
we been spending most our lives
living in an amish paradisе
i’ve churned b+tter oncе 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 b+tt last week
i just smiled at him and i 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 h+ll
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 b+ttons 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 three hundred 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
[chorus]
we been spending most our lives
living in an amish paradise
we’re just plain and simple guys
living in an amish paradise
there’s no time for sin and vice
living in an amish paradise
we don’t fight, we all play nice
living in an amish paradise
[verse 3]
hitchin’ up the buggy, churning lots of b+tter
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
[chorus]
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 or traffic lights
living in an amish paradise
but you’d probably think it bites
living in an amish paradise
