Sing a Simple Song Songtext
von Sly & the Family Stone

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 lovin′, love, I'm loving

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

Sing it in the shower
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Sing it every hour
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it (ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Sing it with your mama, sing it
Sing it, mama, sing it (ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Sing it with your papa, sing it
Sing it, papa, sing it, sing it, woo, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya (ya, ooh, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)


I′m talking now, I'm walking
I'm walking, hey, ey, ey, hey, yeah (ya)
(Okay, okay, now...)
