Give Me The Simple Life - Bob Thompson Orchestra / Chorus 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 pheasant

Those things roll off my knife

Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes

Give me the simple life

Yes 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

And leaven I find especial when you're my mind

It's king as a coufe knife

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

Give me the simple life

I love tomato I'm playing a little

Two on attend send fine

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
