Play A Simple Melody (From There's No Business Like Show Business) - Bing Crosby, Friend

Won’t you play some simple melody

Like my mother sang to me

One with a good old-fashioned harmony

Play some 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 wanna listen to rag

Play for me

That good old-fashioned harmony

Oh, won’t you play for me

A simple melody

Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy

You’ll get all of my applause because

I wanna rag it

Ragtime melody
