Текст песни Sing a Simple Song (Live at The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, August 17, 1969) - Sly & The Family Stone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street
Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold on to is a simple song at last

Let me hear you say (Ya)
(Ya-ya-ya, ya) Sing it in the shower
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya

Sing a simple song!
Try a little do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do!
Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do
Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm living, living, living life with all its ups and downs
I'm giving, giving, giving love and smiling at the frowns
You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while

Let me hear you say (Ya)
(Ya-ya-ya, ya), Ahh! Hoo! Come on!
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking
I'm living, living, living, loving
I'm living love and lovin' lovin'

Everybody sing together
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya (sing it in the shower, sing it)

Sing it, mama, sing it!
Get on, now
Sing it with your sister
Sing it, sister, sing it!
Get on, now
Sing it with your brother
Sing it, brother, sing it!
Get on, now
Sing it with your papa
Sing it, papa

You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while

Let me hear you say
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya

You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while

Let me hear you say
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya

You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while

Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
Ya, ya-ya-ya, ya
