Give Me The Simple Life Lyrics - Evening With George Shearing & Mel Torme - George Shearing

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
