    Lyrics:
    Sing a simple song!
    [Rose]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    [Freddie]
    I'm talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin' in my sleep
    [Larry]
    I'm walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' in the street
    [Sly]
    Time is passin', 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...
    [All Together]
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    [Cynthia]
    Sing a simple song
    Try a little do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do
    Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do
    Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do
    [Rose]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    [Freddie]
    I'm livin', livin', livin' life with all its ups and downs
    [Larry]
    I'm givin', givin', givin' love and smiling at the frowns
    [Sly]
    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...
    [All Together]
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    [Drum and horn breakdown]
    [Rose]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    [Freddie]
    I'm talkin', talkin', talkin', talkin'
    [Larry]
    I'm walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
    [Freddie]
    I'm livin', livin', livin' love
    [Larry]
    I'm livin' lovin' know about lovin'
    [Sly]
    Everybody sing together
    [All Together]
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Sing it in the shower
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Sing it every hour, sing it
    Sing it, sing it, sing it

    Sing it mama, got it sing it
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya
    Sing it with your papa, sing it
    Sing it papa, got it sing it
    Yaaaaa, ya-ya yaa ya

      He's literally son of church pastor. He's been "prayed over" more often than any performer in American popular music history, I bet, including those who moved to soul music from gospel music, including AREYHA FRANKLIN and SAM COOKE. His parents and his father's congregants and the sociometries represened there, I bet, prayed for SLY's success and SLY's mental, physical and social well being before during and after WOODSTOCK. GOD SAVES.

    Sly & The Family Stone released one of the best albums from 1969 “Stand” which included this song, as well as Everyday People and I Want To Take You Higher, Sing a Simple Song; to me it was their greatest hits album 💯% Unfortunately, Sly went through some tough times after his release of 10 studio albums😢 😢😢😢

    When I was a toddler in Brooklyn, NY, in the early 1980s, I liked to listen to this and other R&B songs on the radio, 98.7 KISS FM(R&B Music) and WCBS FM, 101.1 -they played the hit songs from different genres.
