Give Me the Simple Life (Original Mix)

Give Me The Simple Life (Original Mix) - Rosemary Clooney

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

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 p******t

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

I'm crazy about sleep can't do without sleep

Give me the simple life

Give me the simple life

I greet the dawn when I awaken

The sky is clear up above

I like my scrambled eggs and bacon

Served by someone I love

Some like the high road I like the low road

Free from the care and strife

Sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy

Give me the simple life
