Lyrics Simply Melody (Play A) - Jo Stafford, Ирвинг Берлин

Simply Melody (Play A)

Won’t you play some simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Play some simple melody
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, 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
Play for me
That good old-fashioned harmony
Oh, won’t you play for me
A simple melody
Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
You’ll get all of my applause because
I want to rag it
Ragtime melody
