Give Me The Simple Life

Give Me The Simple Life - Mavis Rivers (梅维丝·里夫斯)

Written by：Rube Bloom/Harry Ruby

Folks are blessed who make the best of everyday

Living by their own philosophy

Everyone believes the sun must find a way

And I have found the only way for me

I don't believe in fretting and grieving

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 indeedy

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 indeedy

Give me that simple life

Give me the simple life yes

Give me the simple life

Give me the simple life

Give me the simple life

Give me the simple
