[00:01.160] Songs Title：the mayor of simpleton
[00:07.860] Never been near a university,
[00:14.660] Never took a paper or a learned degree,
[00:21.400] And some of your friends think thats stupid of me,
[00:24.240] But its nothing that I care about.
[00:27.520] Well I dont know how to tell the weight of the sun,
[00:31.160] And of mathematics well I want none,
[00:34.850] And I may be the mayor of simpleton,
[00:38.130] But I know one thing,
[00:41.280] And thats I love you.
[00:45.120] When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
[00:48.520] Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton.
[00:59.380] cant I have been there when brains were handed round
[01:02.190] （please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton）,
[01:06.250] Or get past the cover of your books profound,
[01:09.490] （please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton）,
[01:13.330] And some of your friends thinks its really unsound,
[01:16.450] That youre ever seen talking to me.
[01:19.200] Well I dont know how to write a big hit song,
[01:23.110] And all crossword puzzles well I just shun,
[01:26.480] And I may be the mayor of simpleton,
[01:29.850] But I know one thing,
[01:32.850] And thats I love you.
[01:36.460] Im not proud of the fact that I never learned much,
[01:40.200] Just feel I should say,
[01:43.820] What you get is all real,
[01:45.260] I cant put on an act,
[01:47.130] It takes brains to do that anyway. （and anyway...）
[01:52.090] And I cant unravel riddles, problems and puns,
[01:55.770] How the home computer has me on the run,
[01:59.170] And I may be the mayor of simpleton,
[02:02.600] But I know one thing,
[02:05.350] And thats I love you （I love you）.
[02:13.570] If depth of feeling is a currency,
[02:16.860] （please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton）,
[02:20.560] Then Im the man who grew the money tree,
[02:23.300] （no chain of office and no hope of getting one）.
[02:27.110] Some of your friends are too brainy to see,
[02:30.110] That theyre paupers and thats how theyll stay.
[02:33.290] Well I dont know how many pounds make up a ton,
[02:36.920] Of all the nobel prizes that Ive never won,
[02:40.230] And I may be the mayor of simpleton,
[02:43.850] But I know one thing,
[02:46.900] And thats I love you.
[02:50.830] When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done,
[02:54.260] Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton.
[03:01.240] Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton.
[03:08.100] Youll be warm in the arms of the mayor.
[03:18.200] （please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton.）
