Annie Ross - Give Me the Simple Life lyrics

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' Why mess around with strife 'Causes 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 I want the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after Not one that is spacious and wide Just a house that rocks with joy and laughter And the one you love inside Some take the high road, I'll take the low road Free from the care and strife Sounds corny and seedy but yes indeed-y Give me the simple life Livin' I find is best when your mind Is keen as a carving knife I'm crazy about sleep, can't do without sleep Give me the simple life Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant Those things roll off my knife Give me a Cadillac car and crazy caviar I want the simple life A little villa is all that I'm after Not one that's spacious and wide Or a penthouse on top of the Astor With Marlon Brando inside You take your 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 When you've got diamond rings And clothes and things And when you dine on imported wine And you don't give a hoot 'cause you got loot to boot You got the simple life
