Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Post-Chorus] When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done You'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton [Verse 2] 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 (Some of your friends) Think it's really unsound that you're even seen talking to me [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 (Anyway) [Chorus] 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) [Verse 3] 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 (Some of your friends) Are too brainy to see That they're paupers, and that's how they'll stay [Chorus] 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 (I love you) [Outro] 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 Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton Please be upstanding for the Mayor of Simpleton
