Still Not Over the Amish!!

I am not a big Weird Al fan, um, I am actually not a fan at all, lol, buuuuuuuut his 'Amish Paradise' song is hilarious and extremely fitting. I tried to get the "real" version to post on my blog at http://www.youtube.com/ but the copywrite law wouldn't allow me to, SO, I found the next best thing -- an Amish Hampster singing the song! Oh yeah. That's right. I MEAN NO DISRESPECT, honestly! I just found this very, very funny. I love the Amish people I met in Lancster. They were so gentle and kind. At one point I though, hmm, I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE THE AMISH LIFE, but that was fleeting! :)

This is my tribute to them! Enjoy!

LYRICS:

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grainI take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain

But thats just perfect for an amish like me

You know I shun fancy things like electricity

At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows

Jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows... fool

And Ive been milkin and plowin so long that

Even ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone

Im a man of the land, Im 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 were gonna party like its 1699

We been spending most our lives

Living in an amish paradise

Ive churned butter once or twice

Living in an amish paradise

Its hard work and sacrifice

Living in an amish paradise

We sell quilts at a 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 really dont care, in fact I wish him well

cause Ill be laughing my head off when hes burning in hell

But I aint never punched a tourist even if he deserved it

An amish with a tude?

You know thats unheard ofI never wear buttons

but I got a cool hatAnd my homies agree

I really look good in black...

foolIf you come to visit, youll be bored to tears

We havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years

But we aint really quaint, so please dont point and stare

Were just technologically impaired

Theres no phone, no lights, no motorcar

Not a single luxury

Like robinson carusoIts as primitive as can be

We been spending most our lives

Living in an amish paradise

Were just plain and simple guys

Living in an amish paradiseT

Theres no time for sin and vice

Living in an amish paradise

We dont fight, we all play nice

Living in an amish paradise

Hitchin up the buggy, churnin lots of butter

Raised a barn on monday, soon Ill raise anutter

Think youre really righteous?

Think youre pure in heart?

Well, I know Im a million time as humble as thou art

Im the pious guy the little amlettes wanna be like

On my knees day and night scorin points for the afterlife

So dont be vain and dont be whiny

Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives

Living in an amish paradise

Were all crazy mennonites

Living in an amish paradise

Theres no cops or traffic lights

Living in an amish paradise

But youd probably think it bites

Living in an amish paradise

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhAhh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-yecch!

Peace,
