Play A Simple Melody |
The diff’rent lays of nowadays |
All set my brain a whirl |
They’re not the kind of songs they sang |
When mother was a girl |
Your spoony rags and coony drags |
All made my poor heart ache |
Bring back the rhymes of olden times |
And just for old times sake |
Won’t you play a simple melody |
Like my mother sang to me |
One with good old fashioned harmony |
Play a simple melody |
In days of yore, before the war |
When hearts now old were young |
At home each night by firelight |
Those dear old songs were sung |
Sweet melodies, their memories |
Around my heart still cling |
That’s why I long to hear a song |
Like mother used to sing |
I don’t care for longhaired musicians |
With their classy melodies |
They have lots of highbrow ambitions |
But their music doesn’t please |
Give me something snappy and popular |
The kind that darkies play |
Lots of rhythm |
And I go with 'em |
That’s why I say |
Musical Demon |
Set your honey a-dreamin' |
Won’t you play me some rag |
Just change that classical nag |
To some sweet beautiful drag |
If you will play from a copy |
Of a tune that is choppy |
You’ll get all my applause |
And that is simply because |
I want to listen to rag |
