Give Me The Simple Life

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'

Why mess around with strife?

I guess, I was cut out to step 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



A cottage small is all I'm after

One that's spacious and wide

A heart that rings with joy and laughter

With the ones you love inside



You take the high road, I'll take the low road

Free from the care and strife

Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy

Give me the simple life



Cottage small is all I'm after

Not one that's spacious and wide

A house that rings with joy and laughter

And the one you love inside



You take the high road, I'll take the low road

Free from all care and strife

Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy

Give me the simple
