lyrics

Sing a simple song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street

Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold on to is a simple song at last
Let me hear you say

"Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya, 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 living, living, living life with all its ups and downs
I'm giving, giving, giving love and smiling 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

"Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm talking, talking, talking, talking
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking
I'm living, living, living, living
I'm giving love and lovin' loving

Everybody sing together
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Sing it in the shower
Sing it every hour
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it
Sing it with your mother sing it
Sing it, mama, sing it
Sing it with your father sing it
Sing it, papa, sing it, sing it, woo ta ta ta ta ta

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
I'm talking now, I'm walking
I'm walking, hey ey ey hey yeah

Okay, okay now
