Verse 1
Never been near a uni- versi- ty,
Never took a paper,
Or a learned de- gree,
G * A7
Some of your friends think that's stupid of me,
But it's nothing that I care a - bout
Chorus
Well, I don't know how...
...To tell the weight of the sun,
And of mathe - matics, 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...
D D/C D/B D/A G C * G
...Of The Mayor of Sim - ple - ton---------!
Verse 3
| / / / / | / / / / |
I can't have been there...
...When brains were handed 'round,
(Please, be up - standing for The Mayor of Simpleton)
Or get past the cover of your books pro - found,
(Please, be up - standing for The Mayor of Simpleton)
G * A7
Some of your friends think it's really unsound,
That you're ev - en seen talk - ing to me
Chorus
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...
Em G *
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------!)
Chorus
And I can't un - ravel riddles, problems and puns,
And a home com - puter has me on the run,
G * E7/G#
And I may be The Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing,
And that's I love------ you-----,
I love------ you-----------!
Verse 4
If depth of feeling is a curren - cy,
(Please, be up - standing 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)
G * A7
Some of your friends are too brainy to see...
(Some of your friends-----!)
That they're paupers and that's how they all stay
Chorus
Well, I don't know how many needles make up a ton,
Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won,
G * E7/G#
And I may be The Mayor of Simpleton,
But I know one thing,
And that's, I love you-------
Verse 5
When all logic grows cold,
And all thinking gets done,
You'll be warm in the arms...
...Of The Mayor of Sim - ple - ton------=--,
You'll be warm in the arms...
...Of The Mayor of Sim - ple - ton---------,
You'll be warm in the arms of The Mayor------!
