Never been near a university, never took a
paper or a learned degree,
And some of your
friends think that's stupid of me,
But it's nothing that I care about.
Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the
sun, and of
Mathematics well I want none, and I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one things and that's I love you.
When their logic grows
cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
I can't have been there when brains were handed round
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
Or get past the cover of your books profound
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
And some of your
friends thinks it's really unsound
That you're ever seen talking to me.
Well I don't know how to write a big hit song, and all crossword
Puzzles well I just shun,
And I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one
thing and that's I love you.
I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much,
Just feel I should say, what you get is all real,
I can't put on an act, it takes brains to do that anyway.
(And anyway...)
And I can't unravel riddles problems and puns,
How the home
computer has me on the
run,
And I may be the Mayor of
Simpleton,
But I know one
thing and that's I love you (I love you).
If depth of feeling is a currency
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton),
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
(No chain of office and no hope of getting one),
Some of your
friends are too brainy to see that they're paupers
And that's how they'll stay.
Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton of all the Nobel
Prizes that I've never won, and I may be the Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one things and that's I love you.
When all
logic grows
cold and all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton.
You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor.
(Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton.)
