I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' |
|
Why mess around with strife? |

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 afterOne 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 |
