lyrics

Won't you play a simple melody
Like my mother sang to me?
One with good old fashioned harmony
Play a simple melody

Musical demon, set your honey a'dreamin'
Won't you play me some rag?
Just change that classical nag
To some sweet beautiful drag
If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
You'll get all my applause
And that is simply because
I want to listen to rag

A simple melody
Is the perfect remedy
It's ideal in therapy
Puts things into clarity
So please join us one and all
Come and sing our simple song
With a simple melody
Where it belongs

I'm singing, singing, singing to myself
Just swinging, swinging, the books right off the shelf
Bels ringing, ringing, doin' their own thing
Whoops! There goes a flat note with a zing!
