[00:07.788]I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
[00:10.686]Why mess around with strife?
[00:13.677]I never was cut out to step and strut out
[00:18.349]Give me the simple life
[00:20.893]Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
[00:24.864]Those things roll off my knife
[00:28.026]Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
[00:32.182]Give me the simple life
[00:34.908]A cottage small is all I'm after
[00:38.706]Not one that's spacious and wide
[00:42.028]A house that rings with joy and laughter
[00:45.737]And the ones you love inside
[00:49.585]Some like the high road, I like the low road
[00:53.203]Free from the care and strife
[00:56.464]Sounds corny and seedy, but, yes, indeedy
[01:00.020]Give me the simple life
[01:10.527]I never was cut out to step and strut out
[01:14.189]Give me the simple life
[01:23.765]Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
[01:28.415]Give me the simple life
[01:31.207]A cottage small is all I'm after
[01:34.428]Not one that's spacious and wide
[01:37.928]A house that rings with joy and laughter
[01:41.327]And the ones you love inside
[01:45.473]Some like the high road, I like the low road
[01:48.601]Free from the care and strife
[01:51.455]Sounds corny and seedy, but, yes, indeedy
[01:55.524]Give me the simple life, simple life
