Sing a simple song

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

Sing a simple song

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
