(原詩)

Never been near a university
Never took a paper
Or a learned degree
And some of your friends
Think that's stupid of me
But it's nothing that I care about

Well, I don't know
How to tell the weight of the sun
And of mathematics 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
Of the mayor of Simpleton

I can't have been there
When brains were handed round
(Please be upstanding
For the mayor of Simpleton)
Or get past the cover
Of your books profound
(Please be upstanding
For the mayor of Simpleton)
And some of your friends
(some of your friends)
Think it's really unsound
That you're even seen talking to me

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

I'm not proud of the fact
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)

And I can't unravel
Riddles, problems and puns
How the home computer
Has me on the run
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But I know one thing
And that's I love you
(I love you)

If depth of feeling is a currency
(Please be upstanding
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)
Some of your friends
(Some of your friends)
Are too brainy to see
That they're paupers
And that's how they'll stay

Well, I don't know
How many pounds make up a ton
Of all the Nobel Prizes
That I've never won
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
But I know one thing
And that's I love you
(I love you)

When all logic grows cold
And all thinking gets done
You'll be warm in the arms
Of 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
Please be upstanding
For the Mayor of Simpleton
