Mayor Of Simpleton |
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.) |
