Give Me the Simple Life

<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>
