lyrics

SIMPLE PLEASURES

Got a plum in my pocket
Got a plum in my pocket
Gonna save that plum ‘til later tonight
When I see my baby I’ll give her a bight
Simple pleasures
I’m gonna have me one
Simple pleasures
Are for everyone

Got a cat on my lap
Got a cat on my lap
Better wake her up before I’m late
Ah, to hell with that, my boss can wait
Simple pleasures
I’m gonna have me one
Simple pleasures
Are for everyone

Gonna go see my daddy
Gonna go see my daddy
Gonna leave a sip of whisky on top of his stone
My daddy wouldn’t want me drinking alone
Simple pleasures
I’m gonna have me one
Simple pleasures are for everyone

Oh Devil, oh Lord, whose powers afford
The freedom I have to choose?
Whose sins shall I obey?
From whose laws shall I stray?
And which of you will I refuse?
Simple pleasures
I’m gonna have me one
Simple pleasures
Are for everyone
Simple pleasures
Simple pleasures

Got a plum in my pocket
Got a plum in my pocket
Gonna hold it out all bruised in my hand
I’m gonna beg my baby to try and understand
Simple pleasures
Simple pleasures
Simple pleasures
