The Simplest Of Things (1971 acetate)
He likes morning dew and evening skies
And ladybirds and butterflies
And summer sun and winter snow
And valleys where the rivers flow
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He likes corn a'blowing in the breeze
And Wensleydale and Cheshire cheese
A simple fork and spoon and knife
And a house where he can live his life
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He likes a road where he can drive his car
And a shop to buy his Evening Star
A pub to take his evening drink
A crossword that will make him think
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He wants an education grant
He wants a heavy-water plant
He wants the stars, he wants the Moon
And probably he'll get them soon
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
And ladybirds and butterflies
And summer sun and winter snow
And valleys where the rivers flow
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He likes corn a'blowing in the breeze
And Wensleydale and Cheshire cheese
A simple fork and spoon and knife
And a house where he can live his life
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He likes a road where he can drive his car
And a shop to buy his Evening Star
A pub to take his evening drink
A crossword that will make him think
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
He wants an education grant
He wants a heavy-water plant
He wants the stars, he wants the Moon
And probably he'll get them soon
He likes his pleasures of a simple kind
For the simplest of things will tend to please a simple mind
