Give Me The Simple Life

(album: Julie... At Home - 1960)

I don't believe in fretting and grieving
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

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 eggs and bacon
Served by someone I love

Sounds corny and seedy but yes indeed-y
Corny and seedy but yes indeed-y
Life
