Give Me the Simple Life Lyrics
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 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.
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step and strut out.
Give me the simple life.
Those things roll off my knife;
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes;
Give me the simple life.
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside.
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y;
Give me the simple life.
