Play A Simple Melody

Won’t you play some simple melody
Like my mother sang to me
One with good old-fashioned harmony
Play some 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 wanna listen to rag
