A great songwriter once told me
That to write a great hit song
You have to keep it simple
So the world can sing along
Make it easy to remember
With a melody that’s sweet
A hook they can’t stop humming
As they’re tapping with their feet

Simplicity
Simplicity
Simplicity’s the key
You have to keep it simple
Just as simple as can be

So I tried to write a simple song
Right in the key of C
A little la la la
And a little do re me
But writing something simple
Is as hard as it can be
There’s nothing very simple
About simplicity

Simplicity
Simplicity
Simplicity’s the key
You have to keep it simple
Just as simple as can be

Well at last I’ve finally done it
It’s the most amazing thing
The world will join together
As I listen to them sing
It doesn’t really say much
But it’s fun and very sweet
It’s the simplest of songs
And now at last it is complete

Simplicity
Simplicity
Simplicity’s the key
You have to keep it simple
Just as simple as can be
