Play A Simple Melody Lyrics - Singles - Bing Crosby

original title: " 

The diff'rent lays of nowadays 

All set my brain a whirl 

They're not the kind of songs they sang 

When mother was a girl 

Your spoony rags and coony drags 

All made my poor heart ache 

Bring back the rhymes of olden times 

And just for old times sake 

Won't you play a simple melody 

Like my mother sang to me 

One with good old fashioned harmony 

Play a simple melody

In days of yore, before the war 

When hearts now old were young 

At home each night by firelight 

Those dear old songs were sung 

Sweet melodies, their memories 

Around my heart still cling 

That's why I long to hear a song 

Like mother used to sing 

I don't care for longhaired musicians 

With their classy melodies 

They have lots of highbrow ambitions 

But their music doesn't please 

Give me something snappy and popular 

The kind that darkies play 

Lots of rhythm 

And I go with 'em 

That's why I say

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
