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
  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 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
  
  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
  An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
  I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
  And my homies all I agree I 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 primitave 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
  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
  
  Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
  Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
  Think you're really rightous? 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 scorin' points for the afterlife
  So don't be vain and don't be whiny
  Or else, my brother, I might just 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
  There's no cops or traffic lights
  Living in an Amish paradise
  But you'd probably think it bites
  Living in an Amish paradise
