Lyrics

One two, a one two three four

I don't believe in frettin' or grievin'

Why mess around with strife?

Guess I was cut out to step up and strut out

Give me the simple life

It must be pleasant dining on pheasant

Using the proper knife

I want tomatoes and mashed potatoes

Give me the simple life

Cottage small is all I'm after

Not one that's spacious and wide

Ah, that brings the joy and laughter

With the ones that you love inside

You take the high road, I'll take the low road

Free from all care and strife

Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed

Give me the simple life

A cottage small is all I'm after

Not one that's spacious and wide

A house that brings the joy and laughter

With the ones that you love inside

You take the high road, I'll take the low road

Free from all care and strife

Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed

Give me the simple life, give me the simple life
