[00:01.16] | Songs Title:the mayor of simpleton |
[00:03.12] | |
[00:07.86] | Never been near a university, |
[00:11.10] | |
[00:14.66] | Never took a paper or a learned degree, |
[00:17.97] | |
[00:21.40] | And some of your friends think thats stupid of me, |
[00:24.24] | But its nothing that I care about. |
[00:27.52] | Well I dont know how to tell the weight of the sun, |
[00:31.16] | And of mathematics well I want none, |
[00:34.85] | And I may be the mayor of simpleton, |
[00:38.13] | But I know one thing, |
[00:41.28] | And thats I love you. |
[00:44.31] | |
[00:45.12] | When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, |
[00:48.52] | Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. |
[00:55.89] | |
[00:59.38] | cant I have been there when brains were handed round |
[01:02.19] | (please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), |
[01:06.25] | Or get past the cover of your books profound, |
[01:09.49] | (please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), |
[01:13.33] | And some of your friends thinks its really unsound, |
[01:16.45] | That youre ever seen talking to me. |
[01:19.20] | Well I dont know how to write a big hit song, |
[01:23.11] | And all crossword puzzles well I just shun, |
[01:26.48] | And I may be the mayor of simpleton, |
[01:29.85] | But I know one thing, |
[01:32.85] | And thats I love you. |
[01:35.77] | |
[01:36.46] | Im not proud of the fact that I never learned much, |
[01:40.20] | Just feel I should say, |
[01:42.89] | |
[01:43.82] | What you get is all real, |
[01:45.26] | I cant put on an act, |
[01:47.13] | It takes brains to do that anyway. (and anyway...) |
[01:52.09] | And I cant unravel riddles, problems and puns, |
[01:55.77] | How the home computer has me on the run, |
[01:59.17] | And I may be the mayor of simpleton, |
[02:02.60] | But I know one thing, |
[02:05.35] | And thats I love you (I love you). |
[02:13.57] | If depth of feeling is a currency, |
[02:16.86] | (please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton), |
[02:20.56] | Then Im the man who grew the money tree, |
[02:23.30] | (no chain of office and no hope of getting one). |
[02:27.11] | Some of your friends are too brainy to see, |
[02:30.11] | That theyre paupers and thats how theyll stay. |
[02:33.29] | Well I dont know how many pounds make up a ton, |
[02:36.92] | Of all the nobel prizes that Ive never won, |
[02:40.23] | And I may be the mayor of simpleton, |
[02:43.85] | But I know one thing, |
[02:46.90] | And thats I love you. |
[02:50.83] | When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, |
[02:54.26] | Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. |
[03:01.24] | Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton. |
[03:07.42] | |
[03:08.10] | Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor. |
[03:18.20] | (please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton.) |
