Sing a simple song!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin' in my sleep
I'm walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin' in the street
Time is passin', I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold onto is a simple song at last
(Let me hear you say)
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Sing a simple song
Try a little do re mi fa so la ti do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm livin' livin' livin' life with all its ups and downs
I'm givin' givin' givin' love and smilin' at the frowns
You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song might make it better for a little while
(Let me hear you say)
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin'
I'm walkin' walkin' walkin' walkin'
I'm livin' livin' livin' love
I'm livin' lovin' know about lovin'
(Heh, heh, heh, heh)
Everybody sing together
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Sing it in the shower
Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
Sing it every hour, sing it
Sing it, sing it, sing it
Sing it to your mama, sing it
Sing it mama, got to sing it
Sing it papa, got to sing it
I'm talkin'
I'm walkin'
