PLAY A SIMPLE MELODY 1914 |
WONT YOU PLAY A SIMPLE MELODY,
LIKE MY MOTHER SANG TO ME?
ONE WITH GOOD OLD-FASHIONED HARMONY.
PLAY A SIMPLE MELODY.
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 WANT TO LISTEN TO RAG.
