《Play a Simple Melody (From ”There’s No Business Like Show Business”)》歌词

[00:02:48] The diff'rent lays of nowadays

[00:02:48] All set my brain a whirl

[00:02:48] They're not the kind of songs they sang

[00:02:48] When mother was a girl

[00:02:48] Your spoony rags and coony drags

[00:02:48] All made my poor heart ache

[00:02:48] Bring back the rhymes of olden times

[00:02:48] And just for old times sake

[00:02:48] Won't you play a simple melody

[00:02:48] Like my mother sang to me

[00:02:48] One with good old fashioned harmony

[00:02:48] Play a simple melody

[00:02:48] In days of yore, before the war

[00:02:48] When hearts now old were young

[00:02:48] At home each night by firelight

[00:02:48] Those dear old songs were sung

[00:02:48] Sweet melodies, their memories

[00:02:48] Around my heart still cling

[00:02:48] That's why I long to hear a song

[00:02:48] Like mother used to sing

[00:02:48] I don't care for longhaired musicians

[00:02:48] With their classy melodies

[00:02:48] They have lots of highbrow ambitions

[00:02:48] But their music doesn't please

[00:02:48] Give me something snappy and popular

[00:02:48] The kind that darkies play

[00:02:48] Lots of rhythm

[00:02:48] And I go with 'em

[00:02:48] That's why I say

[00:02:48] Musical Demon

[00:02:48] Set your honey a-dreamin'

[00:02:48] Won't you play me some rag

[00:02:48] Just change that classical nag

[00:02:48] To some sweet beautiful drag

[00:02:48] If you will play from a copy

[00:02:48] Of a tune that is choppy

[00:02:48] You'll get all my applause

[00:02:48] And that is simply because

[00:02:48] I want to listen to rag
