As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain                (basse 2)
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                              (basse 1)
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

  We been spendin' most our lives livin' in an Amish paradise        (basse 2)
  I've churned butter once or twice livin' in an Amish paradise
  It's hard work and sacrifice livin' in an Amish paradise           w/ anges
  We sell quilts at a discount price livin' in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week                            creux
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 laughin' my head off when he's burnin' in hell

But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it           (basse 1)
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

    There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar, not a single luxury
    Like Robinson Caruso, it's as primitive as can be

  We been spendin' most our lives livin' in an Amish paradise        (basse 2)
  We're just plain and simple guys livin' in an Amish paradise
  There's no time for sin and vice livin' in an Amish paradise
  We don't fight, we all play nice, livin' in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter                       (basse 1)
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 time as humble as thou art

I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night, scorin' 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

  We been spendin' most our lives livin' in an Amish paradise        (basse 2)
  We're all crazy Mennonites livin' in an Amish paradise
  There's no cops or traffic lights livin' in an Amish paradise
  But you'd probably think it bites livin' in an Amish paradise
