Here's a very, very simple melody That Carla wrote especially for me She said, everyone according to their ability And then she gave the simplest one to me If I concentrate, I know I won't go wrong And then maybe someday, I'll get a better song Well just what kind of song would you prefer Something that is difficult-er And I think that I could sing a higher note Better keep it simple, better keep it slow Very, very simple, and very, very low Keep it low, keep it low Keep it simple, better keep it slow Very, very simple, and very, very low Keep it simple, better keep it slow Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Very, very simple, and very, very low Well, I guess that I'll surrender gracefully Simple little songs are best for me How can I afford to disagree? There's nine of them and one of me Better keep it simple, better keep it slow Very, very simple Thank you
