EDELWEISS
Edelweiss, Edelweiss,
Every morning you greet me.
Small and White,
Clean and Bright,
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow,
May you Bloom and Grow.
Bloom and Grow forever.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss,
Bless my homeland forever.

AMISH PARADISE
Weird Al Yankovic
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 milking cows
Jebeddiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool!
And I've been milking and plowing so long
That even Ezekiel thinks 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
1-We're 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
But I smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wished 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 tool 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 motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be
(repeat 1)
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living 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 the barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really righteous, think you're pure at heart
Well I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the highest guy the little homies wanna be like
On my knees day and night, scoring points for the other life
So don't be vain, and don't be whinny
Or else my brother I might have to get me evil on your hindie
(rpt 1)
We're all crazy Mennonites, living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic light
Living in an Amish Paradise
But you probably think it bites, living in an Amish paradise
ooh, ooh, ooh ah

I'll see if memory holds up here for the first request
BTW, we're _not_ talking about the Neneh Cherry song are we?
EDELWEISS by Rogers & Hammerstein (I think)
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
Every morning you greet me
Soft and white edelweiss
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
Or some such. Can't help you with the Weird Al, I'm afraid...
Jonathan
