Play A Simple Melody (Feat. John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra, The Charioteers, The Rhythmaires)
Bing Crosby, Gary Crosby
Won't you play some simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old fashioned harmony
Play some simple melody
Musical demon set your honey a dreaming
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
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old fashioned harmony
Play some simple melody
Musical demon set your honey a dreaming
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
