Julie London — Give Me the Simple Life

[Verse] 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 [Verse] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse] 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 [Bridge] I'm crazy about sleep Can't do without sleep Give me the simple life I don't aim to worry Hustle or hurry Give me the simple life [Verse] 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 [Outro] Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy Corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy Life
