(Play a) Simple Melody Lyrics

Won't you play me some rag
with a classical drag!

Oh com'on fellas
Part 1:
Won't you play a simple melody
just like my mother sang to me
one with good old fashioned harmony
why don't you play a simple melody

Part 2:
Won't you Play A Simple Melody
Like my mother sang to me?
One with good old fashioned harmony
Play A Simple Melody
Part 3:
Musical demon, set your honey a'dreamin'
Won't you play me some rag?
And set 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
That's the way to play rag
with a classical drag

(Parts 2 & 3 together)

(Part 2 and:)
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
