"Simple Pleasures" lyrics

"Simple Pleasures"

Jumpin' on the bed, standing on your head, tryin' not to fall
Drivin' in a car lookin' at the stars, feelin' kinda small
Climbin' up the tree, swimin' in the sea, riding on a bike
Shakin' tambourines, remembering your dream and holding you tight

Simple pleasures
That's what we like
Simple pleasures
Alright

Sleepin' on a train, singin' in the rain, talking with your friends
Knowin' that you don't ever have to go back to school again
Eating an orange, cutting your own fringe, finding words that rhyme
Readin' Ogden Nash, growing a moustache, and knowing you are mine

Simple pleasures
That's what we like, yeah
Simple pleasures
Alright

Sittin' in a chair when nobody's there, staring into space
Listenin' to the birds [*whistling to the tune of Dock of the Bay*]
Soakin' in the tub, freakin' out the dog, she says:
"What you doing lying in a pool of water?
What you doing lying in a pool of water?
What you doing lying in a pool of water?
Hold me! Stroke me! Feed me!" [*dog woofs*]

You know what's a simple pleasure?
It's when you go to a show and you put your hands together
C'mon
One, two three, four
Yeah
Yeaheheh
Yeaheheh
