Play a simple melody lyrics

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 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

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

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

Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy

You'll get all of my applause because

I wanna rag it, ragtime melody
