Give Me the Simple Life Lyrics
Give Me the Simple Life - Carmen McRae
Written by：R. Bloom/H. Ruby
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 dinin' 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 that 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
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 that 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
