  • as i walk throught 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 milking cows,
    jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows, fool
    and i've been milking and plowing so long that
    even ezekial 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 going to party like it's 1699.

    (chorus)
    we've been spending most our lives living in an amish paradise,
    i churn 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.

    a local boy kicked me in the butt last week,
    i just smiled at him, and i turned the other cheek.
    i don't really care, in fact i wish him well,
    cause i'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell.

    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 payed 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 motorcars, not a single luxury,
    like robinson caruso, it's as primitive as can be,

    (chorus)
    we've 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

    hitching up the buggy, churning lots of butter,
    raised a barn on monday, soon i'll raise another
    think you're really rightious?
    think you're pure in heart?
    well i know i'm a million times as humble as thou art.

    i'm the pioust guy the little amletts want to be like
    on my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife.
    so don't be vain, and don't be whiney,
    or else my brother i might have to get medieval on your hiney.

    (chorus)
    we've 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,

    ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    ah-ah
    ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,
    yech!
  • sözleri ile yaran weird al yankovic şarkısı. bir de;

    (bkz: pennsylvania)
  • şarkı radyolarda ilk yayınlandığında amish nüfusunun yoğun olduğu yerlerdeki amish olmayanlardan rekor sayıda istek almış. weird al yankovic izin aldığını iddia etmesine rağmen coolio sonradan kendisinden bu şarkının parodisi için izin alınmadığını iddia etmiş ve ufak bir tartışmaya yol açmıştır.

    klibi ise her izlendiğinde güldürür.
  • şu sıralar hastası olduğum manyak şarkı. bu al yankoviç'e boşuna "weird" dememişler yahu. 300 yıldır ödemedik telefonu abicim, ne var yani. resozluk'te çıkan tip bile yeter. ayrıca nakaratı söyleyen ses ile normal kısmı söyleyen sesin aynı, yani yankoviç'in olduğuna inanamıyorum.

  • bu şarkının klibinin en ilgi çekici kısmı ise 2.50'den sonrasının geriden çekilmiş olmasına rağmen şarkıyı söyleyenin ağız hareketlerinin şarkının ritmine ve sözlerine tam uygun olmasıdır. bu derece iyi yapabilmeleri için o sahneyi en az yirmi defa çekmiş olmalılar. müthiş bir emek gerçekten
