Give Me The Simple Life (From 'Gone For The Day') |
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 of my knife |
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes |
Give me the simple life |
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 |
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 of my knife |
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes |
Give me the simple life |
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 |
Give me, oh, give me, oh, give me the simple life |
