| I don’t believe in frettin' or grievin'
|
| Why mess around with strife?
|
| Guess I was cut out to step up and strut out
|
| Give me the simple life
|
| It must be pleasant dining on pheasant
|
| Using the proper knife
|
| I want tomatoes and mashed potatoes
|
| Give me the simple life
|
| Cottage small is all I’m after
|
| Not one that’s spacious and wide
|
| Ah, that brings the joy and laughter
|
| With the ones that you love inside
|
| You take the high road, I’ll take the low road
|
| Free from all care and strife
|
| Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
|
| Give me the simple life
|
| A cottage small is all I’m after

|
| Free from all care and strife
|
| Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed
|
| Give me the simple life, give me the simple life |
