Simple Melody
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
1914

Intro
Won't you play a simple melody
Like my Mother sang to me
One with good old fashioned harmony
Play a simple melody

Musical demon, set your honey adreamin'
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 want to listen to rag


Now let's sing together

Won't you play a simple melody

Like my Mother sang to me

One with good old fashioned harmony

Play a simple melody

Musical demon, set your honey adreamin'
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 want to listen to rag
