Won't you play a simple melody

Like my mother sang to me

One with a good old-fashioned harmony

Play a simple melody

Musical demon set your honey a-dreamin'

Won't you play me some rag

Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag

If you will play from a copy of a tune

That is choppy you'll get all my applause

And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag

Won't you play a simple melody

Like my mother sang to me

If you will play from a copy of a tune

That is choppy you'll get all my applause

And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag

Won't you play a simple melody

Like my mother sang to me

One with a good old-fashioned harmony

Play a simple melody

Play a simple melody
