Play A Simple Melody 1942 Irving Berlin

Won't 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.
