Lyrics
I'm Too Dumb
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm too dumb. Elect some other guy.
Send someone else to Washington that knows much more than I.
I know he won't look out for me, he's all for number one,
But he's so educated and I'm too dumb.
I'm too dumb. I never studied law.
And all those complicated bills just paralyze my jaw.
Wall Street agents fram'd them to put me on the bum.
They pass the bill and I keep still 'cause I'm too dumb.
I'm too dumb. I'll tell you how I know,
Some big time operator has so often told me so.
Sometimes I get to thinking and wondering how come.
Next time they pull a fast one I think I'll holler some,
And say, "Hey Jack, get off of my back, I'm NOT THAT DUMB."
