Give Me the Simple Life - Carmen McRae/Mat Mathews Quintet
Written by：R. Bloom/H. Ruby

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 dinin' on pheasant

Those things roll off my knife

Just serve me 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

And the ones that 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

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

And the ones that 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

Give me the simple life
