A Simple Man

"A SIMPLE MAN"

A MAN FROM NEW YORK CITY CAME DOWN IN A LIMOUSINE
HE BROUGHT ALONG HIS LAWYER, A SLICK SMILING MACHINE
HE SAID SON YOU'VE GOT A GOOD VOICE, MY NAME IS MR. MITCH
JUST SIGN RIGHT HERE IN TRIPLICATE, I'M GONNA MAKE YOU RICH

BUT I'M A SIMPLE MAN, I SAID TO MYSELF
A SIMPLE MAN, THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN, IS THERE SOMETHING I DON'T SEE
AND WHY DOES THAT LAWYER KEEP ON SMILIN' AT ME

I ASKED HIM HOW THEY FOUND ME, HE SEEMED QUITE AMUSED
HE SAID I SAW YOUR CLIP ON YOUTUBE, A HUNDRED THOUSAND VIEWS
HIS LAWYER HANDED ME A GOLD PEN, SHOWED ME WHERE TO SIGN
HE SAID, NO NEED TO READ IT SON JUST SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE

BUT I'M A SIMPLE MAN, I SAID TO MYSELF
A SIMPLE MAN,THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN, IS THERE SOMETHING I DON'T SEE
AND CAN I TRUST A LAWYER WHO KEEPS SMILIN' AT ME

I'M VERY FLATTERED MR. MITCH OH YES YOU CAN BET I AM
IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT IN NEW YORK I'VE GOT AT LEAST ONE FAN
AND WHILE I'M MIGHTY TEMPTED BY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
YOU CAN GET BACK IN YOUR LIMO AND BOTH BE ON YOUR WAY

'CAUSE I'M A SIMPLE MAN THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN AND I AM FREE
A SIMPLE MAN AND NOW I CAN SEE
I CAN'T TRUST A LAWYER WHO KEEPS SMILIN' AT ME

WHEN I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT MY WIFE ASKED ABOUT MY DAY
I TOLD HER ABOUT THOSE TWO MEN AND WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY
THEY TRIED TO BUY MY MUSIC AND SAID I COULDN'T FAIL
BUT I WRITE MY SONGS FOR YOU DEAR AND OUR MUSIC'S NOT FOR SALE

I'M A SIMPLE MAN, THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN AND I AM FREE
A SIMPLE MAN, I KNOW YOU'LL AGREE
I CAN'T TRUST A LAWYER WHO KEEPS SMILIN' AT ME
A SIMPLE MAN, THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN, THAT'S ALL I AM
A SIMPLE MAN, AND I COULD CLEARY SEE
I CAN'T TRUST A LAWYER WHO KEEPS SMILIN' AT ME
A SIMPLE MAN
