作曲 : Rube Bloom/Harry Ruby

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 if 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'm crazy about sleep

Can't do with out sleep

Give me the simple life

I don't aim to worry

Hassle or hurry

Give me the simple life

I greet the dawn when I waken

The sky is cleared up above

I like my scramble egg and bacon

Served by someone I love

Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed

Corny and seedy, but yes, indeed

Life~
