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...

You'll be warm in the arms...

You'll be warm in the arms of The Mayor------!
