Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep

I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street

Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast

All I have to hold on to is a simple song at last

 

Let me hear you say

"Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya"

 

/A                    / B                   /  D                              

Sing a simple song Try a little do re mi fa so la ti do

/E                                   / E

Do re mi fa so la ti do   Do re mi fa so la ti do

 

E

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

I'm living, living, living life with all its ups and downs

I'm giving, giving, giving love and smiling at the frowns

You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile

A simple song might make it better for a little while

 

Let me hear you say

"Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya"
