Give Me The Simple Life

I don't believe in frettin' or grievin'
Why mess around with strife
Guess I was cut out to step 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

A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
Whth ones you love inside

You take the high road, I'll take the low road
Free from the care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, oh yes, indeed-y
Give me the simple life
