A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one but spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
With 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 pheasant, heh
Those things roll off my knife
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potahtoes
Give me the simple life
I greet the dawn when I waken
The sky is clear up above
I like my scrambled eggs and bacon
Shared with the ones I love
Some like the high road, I like the low road
Free from all care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy
Oh, but yes indeedy
Give me the simple life
Oh, livin' I find is best when your mind is
Keen as a carving knife
She's crazy 'bout sleep
I can't do without sleep
Give me the simple life
You know that I love to whittle
And play a little tune on a ten-cent fife
Wee-deedle-ee-dee-dow
Sounds corny and seedy
But yes indeedy
Give me the simple life
Sounds corny and seedy
Corny and seedy?
Oh, yes, yes indeedy
Oh, yes indeedy
Please give me the simple life
