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 thing,
|
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 thing,
|
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.)
