Lyrics
So i can understand, talk real clear
Say it simple, say it simple
and we ll soon have action speaking louder than words
So i can understand, i don t want to hear a lot of talk tonight, say it simple
Talk real clear, talk real clear, don t start lyin
Don t forget about the bees and the birds, well forget it right now
say it simple
don t get nervous or you ll begin to stammer
Don t you go too grand, so i can understand, don t let those adjectives spoil your style
Speak your piece, tell me what you want
say it simple
And just forget your dixie grammar, talk real clear
Don t start lyin, don t start lyin, sweet mama treat me right
Well forget it right now, tell me what you want
Sweet mama treat me right, tell me what you want, so i can understand
Don t you go too grand, and we ll soon have action speaking louder than words
use all the easy words at your command
Don t you go too grand, say it simple
Don t let those adjectives spoil your style, say it simple
just like a little child
No fancy language, well forget it right now, say it simple
So i can understand, i never cared for fiction
So i can understand, sweet mama treat me right Orchestra, say it simple
say it simple
and tell me just how
Say it simple, say it simple
I don t want to hear a lot of talk tonight, speak your piece, sweet mama treat me right
And just forget your dixie grammar, say it simple, and we ll soon have action speaking louder than words
Don t start lyin, don t want no friction with your diction
So i can understand, sweet mama treat me right Orchestra, well forget it right now
don t let those adjectives spoil your style
well forget it right now
Say it simple, well forget it right now
Say it simple, so i can understand
Don t you go too grand, so i can understand
and just forget your dixie grammar
Just like a little child, so i can understand, and we ll soon have action speaking louder than words
no fancy language
Well forget it right now, and tell me just how, don t want no friction with your diction
Don t start lyin, say it simple
And just forget your dixie grammar, i don t want to hear a lot of talk tonight
