Simple

lyrics

Simple 1,2,3
Simple Do-Re-Mi
Simple like your mother told you so
Simple like a cake
Simple no mistake you’ll ever make
If
You keep it simple, Biff
S-I-M-P-L-E
Is how it’s got to be
Just keep it simple, simple, simple for me

Simple Ooh La La
Simple Cha-cha-cha
Simple just like falling off a log
Simple as a square
Simple just like breathing in the air
Sniff
Mmm, keep it simple, Biff
S-I-M-P-L-E
Is how it’s got to be
Just keep it simple, simple, simple for me

Big old words like “obfuscate”
They’re not great, They don’t rate
Detailed, complex arguments
They’re all pretense, they don’t make sense
They’re just another way of sittin’ on the fence

Simple bird and bee
Simple you and me
Simple there’s no mystery at all
Simple as a sneeze
Simple like the fruit falls from the trees
Right
Just take a simple bite
S-I-M-P-L-E
Is how it’s got to be
Just keep it simple
Simple, simple, simple
Simple as the dimple on little Shirley Timple
Make mine simple, simple, simple for me
