[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Never been near a [D]university,[C]
Never took a paper or a learned degree,
[G]And some of your friends think
that's [A]stupid of me,
But it's [C]nothing that I care [D]about

[Verse 2]
Well I [C]don't know [D]how to tell
the [G]weight of [Am]the sun,
[C]And of mathemat[D]ics well [G]I want n[D]one,
And I [G]may be the Mayor of Sim[E]pleton,
[D]But I [Am]know [C]one thi[D]ng and
that's I [Em]love [C]you[G][C]
[G]When their

[Verse 3]
[C]logic grows [D]cold and
all [Em]thinking gets [D]done,
You'll be [C]warm in the [Am]arms of
[D]the Mayor of [G]Simpleton
[C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
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),
[G]And some of your friends thinks
it's [A]really unsound,
That you're [C]even seen [D]talking to me

[Verse 5]
Well I [C]don't know [D]how to
write a [G]big hit song,
[C]And all [D]crossword puzzles
well [G]I just shun[D],
And I [G]may be the Mayor of Sim[E]pleton,
But I [Am]know [C]one [D]thing and
that's I [Em]love [C]you[G]
[D]I'm not

[Verse 6]
[Bm]proud of the fact that
I [Em]never learned much,
Just [G]feel I should say,
[Em]What you [Bm]get is all real,
I can't [Em]put on an act,
It takes brains to [C]do [A]that [D]any
[C]way [G](An[Am]d anyway...)

[Verse 7]
And I [C]can't un[D]ravel riddles,
[G]problems and [D]puns,
How the [C]home com[D]puter
has me [G]on the run,
[D]And I [G]may be the Mayor [E]of Simpleton,
But I [Am]know [C]one [Em]thing[D] and that's
I [C]love you [D](I love[G][C]
[G]you)

[Verse 8]
If depth [C]of feeling is [G]a currency,[D]
[C](Please be up[D]standing for
[C]the Mayor of Simpleton),
Then I'm the [D]man who [C]grew the [G]money tree,
[C]
(No chain of office [G]and no
[C]hope of get[G]ting one)
Some of your friends are
too [A]brainy to see,
That they're pau[C]pers and
[D]that's how [C]they'll [D]stay[A]
[D]Well I

[Verse 9]
[C]don't know [D]how many
pounds [G]make up a ton,
Of [D]all [C]the Nobel [D]prizes that
[G]I've never won,
And I may be the Mayor of Sim[E]pleton,
But I [Am]know [C]one thi[D]ng and
that's [Em]I love [C]you[G]
When [Am]all

[Verse 10]
[C]logic grows [D]cold and

of [D]the Mayor of [G]Simpleton
[C]You[G]'ll be warm i[C]n the
