Part A:
A E7 A Cdim E7
Won't you play a simple melody,
E7 Cdim E A Cdim E7 E7sus4
Like my mother sang to me?
A E7 A Cdim E7
One with good old-fashioned harmony
E7 Cdim E A D9 A E7
Play a simple melody.
Part B:
A E7 A Cdim E7
Musical demon, set your honey a dreamin', won't you play me some rag?
E7 Cdim E A Cdim E7 E7sus4
Just change that classical drag to some sweet musical nag.
A E7 A Cdim E7 Cdim
And if you play from a copy of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause,
E7 Cdim E E7 Cdim E A D9 A E7
And and that is simply because I want to listen to rag.
(Part A is sung first, then part B, then Part A and B simultaneously.)
