Play a simple melody lyrics
Play a simple melody lyrics
[intro]
[verse 1]
Won't you play a simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Play a simple melody
[chorus + verse 1]
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
[instrumental]
Won't you play a simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Play a simple melody
[chorus + verse 1]
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
[J.S.]
Play for me
That good old-fashioned harmony
Oh, won't you play for me
That simple melody
[chorus]
Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
You'll get all of my applause because
I wanna rag it
Ragtime melody
