Give Me The Simple Life

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
 Why mess around with strife?
 I 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
 One that's spacious and wide
 A heart that rings with joy and laughter
 With the 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, but yes, indeedy
 Give me the simple life
 Cottage small is all I'm after
 Not one that's spacious and wide
 A house that rings with joy and laughter
 And the one you love inside
 You take the high road, I'll take the low road
 Free from all care and strife
 Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
 Give me the simple
