[Intro] [clean electric guitar, melodic bass, steady drum beat] [Verse 1] [male tenor vocals] Walking down the boardwalk in July Sand between my toes and not a care Something calls me from that corner stand Where the simple pleasure's always there [Chorus] [full band, piano enters] Oh, it's the classic choice, the pure delight (pure delight) Nothing fancy needed when it feels so right (feels so right) All the colors fade away when you have the perfect day Vanilla ice cream all the way Simple is the sweetest kind of life That's the way it's meant to be Simple as can be [Verse 2] Sunset paints the pier in shades of gold While we laugh about the choice we made Other folks go chasing wild extremes But we found our bliss in something plain [Chorus] Oh, it's the classic choice, the pure delight (pure delight) Nothing fancy needed when it feels so right (feels so right) All the colors fade away when you have the perfect day Vanilla ice cream all the way Simple is the sweetest kind of life That's the way it's meant to be Simple as can be [Bridge] [guitar palm-muting] Some say we're missing out on flavor What do they know? But we know what we savor Let it show When the sun beats down and the waves rolling in There's beauty in the basic, let the good times begin Oh yeah! [Chorus] [high energy, piano glissando] Oh, it's the classic choice, the pure delight (pure delight) Nothing fancy needed when it feels so right (feels so right) All the colors fade away when you have the perfect day Vanilla ice cream all the way Simple is the sweetest kind of life That's the way it's meant to be (La-la-la-la-la) Simple as can be Simple as can be [final drum hit]
