Give Me The Simple Life lyrics

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'.
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step out 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
or good old 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 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, indeedy,
give me the simple life.
 
Living, I find, is best when your mind
is keen as a carving knife.
I'm crazy about sleep, you'd do without sleep,
give me the simple life.
 
I love to whittle and play a little
tune on a 10-cent pipe.
I don't aim to worry,
hustle or hurry,
give me the simple life.
 
I greet the sun when I awaken,
the sky is clear up above.
I like my scrambled eggs and bacon
served by someone that I love.
 
Life could be thrilling
with one who's willing
to be a farmer's wife.
Kids callin' me pappy
would make me so happy.
Give me the simple life.
