Oh, if you love the life you live, then you'll get a lot more done   Be more inclined to take the reins and turn away and run   It's very rare, it seems to get a lifetime guarantee   So I suppose self satisfaction be the key      Oh, my father is a wealthy, self made man   But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land   And instead he has a family who are his biggest fans   That's something that I one day hope to have      So I'll cherish the simple things   The easy 'Took for granted' things   Like going round my mum's house for my tea   And argue with my sister, only God knows how I missed her   It's the simple things that mean the most to me      Ah, he gets up each day at five   And starts the car and makes the drive   And shutters up and starts the fryers   Serves out food to all the buyers in the town      As they stand there in the same old line   And get there every day at the same old time   No, you never hear him grumble and groan   'Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on      And like me he cherished the simple things   The easy 'Took for granted' things   Like going round his mum's house for my tea   And argue with his sister, only God knows how he missed her   It's the simple things that mean the most to him
