I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again and I think it's a sin
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G
Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her
D Cadd9 G
Well I heard old Neil put her down

Amish Paradise
[Intro]
G# Fm G Cm
[Verse 1]
G# Fm
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
G Cm
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
G# Fm
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
G Cm
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
G# Fm
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
G Cm
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool
G# Fm
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
G Cm
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
G# Fm
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
G Cm
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
G# Fm
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
G Cm
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699
[Chorus]
G# Fm G Cm
We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
I've churned butter once or twice living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
It's hard work and sacrifice living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
We sell quilts at discount price living in an Amish paradise
[Verse 2]
G# Fm
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
G Cm
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
G# Fm
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
G Cm
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
G# Fm
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
G Cm
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
G# Fm
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
G Cm
And my homies agree I really look good in black, fool
G# Fm
If you come to visit you'll be bored to tears
G Cm
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
G# Fm
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
G C#
We're just technologically impaired
[Pre-Chorus]
G# Fm G Cm
There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar, not a single luxury
G# Fm G Cm
Like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be
[Chorus]
G# Fm G Cm
We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
We're just plain and simple guys living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
There's no time for sin and vice living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
We don't fight we all play nice living in an Amish paradise
[Bridge]
G# Fm
Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
G Cm
Raised the barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
G# Fm
Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?
G Cm
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
G# Fm
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
G Cm
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
G# Fm
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
G Cm
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your hiney
[Chorus]
G# Fm G Cm
We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
We're all crazy Mennonites living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
There's no cops or traffic lights living in an Amish paradise
G# Fm G Cm
But you'd probably think it bites living in an Amish paradise
[Outro]
G# Fm G Cm
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
G# Fm G Cm
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-yecch
Bye Bye Bye

I'm giving up, I know for sure
I don't want to be the reason for your love no more
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
I don't want to be the loser and I've had enough
[Chorus]
G#m F#
I don't wanna be your fool

In this game for two
C#m F# G#m
So I'm leaving you be - hind

White and Nerdy
Bm
They see me mowin'
F#m
My front lawn
Em E7
I know they're all thinking
F#m7
I'm so White N' nerdy
Bm
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
F#m
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Em
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
E7 F#m7
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I'm too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Really, really white n' nerdy
First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I'm a Champion of D&D
MC Escher that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40
I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You'll find they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking's in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed,
my fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well, I'm number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I got a soldering gun
"Happy Days" is my favourite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon
Here's the part I sing on
They see me roll on, my Segway!
I know in my heart they think I'm
white n' nerdy!
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy
I'd like to roll with-
The gangsters
Although it's apparent I'm too
White n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
How'd I get so white n' nerdy?
I've been browsing, inspectin'
X-men comics you know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket
I must protect 'em
my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized "Holy Grail" really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing web sites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog!
Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
they were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky!
I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend
at the renaissance fair
I got my name on my underwear!
They see me strollin'
They laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause
I'm so white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
All because I'm white n' nerdy
Holy cow I'm white n' nerdy
I wanna bowl with-
the gangsters
but oh well it's obvious I'm
white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
