Lyrics of
Play A Simple Melody

Won't you play a simple melody
Just like my mother sang to me?
One with good old-fashioned harmony,
Play a simple melody.
Musical demon sets your honey a-dreamin', won't you play me some rag?
Just change that classical drag to some sweet musical nag.
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.
