Play A Simple Melody 
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



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

Won't you play some simple melody 
(Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag)
Like my mother sang to me (Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag)
One with a good old-fashioned harmony (If you will play from a copy
of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause)
Play some simple melody (And that is simply because I want to listen to rag)
