If depth of feeling is a currency
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won
That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
Some of your friends are too brainy to see
Well, I don't know how many pounds make up a ton
How the home computer has me on the run
But I know one thing and that's I love you, I love you
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
But I know one thing and that's I love you, I love you
I can't have been there when brains were handed round
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
Just feel I should say, what you get is all real
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
Please be upstanding for 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 of simpleton
When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
And some of your friends think that's stupid of me
And anyway
And of mathematics well, I want none
No change of office and no hope of getting one
But it's nothing that I care about
And I can't unravel riddles problems and puns
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton
I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much
When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
But I know one thing and that's I love you
And all crossword puzzles, well I just shun
I can't put on an act, it takes brains to do that anyway
But I know one thing and that's I love you
And some of your friends thinks it's really unsound
That you're ever seen talking to me
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
Or get past the cover of your books profound
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
Well, I don't know how to write a big hit song
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor
And I may be the mayor of simpleton
Well, I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton
