She's only concerned about cow farts. Horse farts and horse manure is okay. And I think the reason why she looks the way she does is because she is doing her part to fight global warming by hold all her farts in. LOL

Oops... I used bad grammer. "Horse farts and horse manure ARE okay", not "IS okay." I just didn't want some grammar Nazi coming after me because of another meme I posted. They came after on that one.

Okay, I will. Here is the rest of the song, 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 I 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 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 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 Crusoe
It's as primitive 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 righteous? 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 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

The one or two times that I've heard Gangsta's Paradise it just seems all wrong. It's the wrong lyrics and everything. Weird Al took that sucky rap song and made it great.

Well... to be honest, I cheated. I didn't want to type out those lyrics 'cause I'm lazy. Also I don't have the entire song memorized so I would have gotten stuff wrong. It is one of Weird Al's best.

Oh, I thought you memorized it, but it's fine still 👍

Nah. I'm getting too old to keep much upstairs. Even songs that everyone knows the lyrics to I sometimes forget. I think everyone knows the lyrics to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", but sometimes I'll forget a word or two.

Oops. I forgot to say I went to one of those song lyrics web sites and copied and pasted the rest of the song.

This is for everyone who complained about the original meme not being an Amish horse and buggy.

I doubt that's an Amish buggy...probably for hire by tourists...

It's not. It was an ImgFlip template of a horse and buggy. Amish horse and buggies are all black.

Amish buggies are covered, and much less ornate

True. No real color to them. Even the "Slow Moving Vehicle" plate is off-color. A coach would have been more likely for long-distance travel.
