Lyrics Play a Simple Melody - Georgia Gibbs

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
