<I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'; |
|
Why mess around with strife? |
|
I never was cut out to step and strut out. |
|
Give me the simple life. |
|
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant. |
|
Those things roll off my knife; |
|
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes; |
|
Give me the simple life. |
|
Bridge: |
|
A cottage small is all I'm after, |
|
Not one that's spacious and wide. |
|
A house that rings with joy and laughter |
|
And the ones you love inside. |
|
Some like the high road, I like the low road, |
|
Free from the care and strife. |
|
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y; |
|
Give me the simple life. |
|
I'm crazy about sleep |
|
Can't do without sleep |
|
Give me the simple life |
|
I don't aim to worry |
|
Husstle or hurry |
|
Give me the simple life |
|
I greet the dawn when am waken |
|
The sky is cleared up above |
|
I like my scramble egg and bacon |
|
Served by someone I love |
|
Sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy |
|
Corny and seedy but yes indeedy life> |
