Give me a song with a beautiful melody Play it with strings 'til it sings in my memory The simplest kind of a strain Is bound to remain in your heart If it takes you way back to the past It's the kind of a song that will last And if the words to the tune seen to say what you're thinking of Just sing the words to the girl and she'll fall in love And when you're holding her tight You'll find that I'm right as can be She'll be glad that you fell to a beautiful melody ♪ The simplest kind of a strain Is bound to remain in your heart If it takes you way back to the past It's the kind of a song that will last And if the words to the tune seen to say what you're thinking of Just sing the words to the girl and she'll fall in love And when you're holding her tight You'll find that I'm right as can be She'll be glad that you fell if the music is well She'll be happy to swing to a wonderful tune She'll be glad that you fell to a beautiful melody
