Village Idiot

[Verse 1]

Did you see the lad on the corner?

He was standing drinking wine

Wears his overcoat in the summer

And short sleeves in the winter time

[Verse 2]

Takes his holidays down at the bookies

Well, he knows how to pick a horse

Village tramping 'round the countryside

He wears a smile but he doesn't say much

[Chorus]

Village idiot, he's complicated

Village idiot, simple mind

Village idiot, he does know something

But he's just not saying

[Verse 3]

Don't you know he's onto something?

You can see it, you can see it in his eyes

Sometimes he looks so happy

As he goes strolling by

[Chorus]

Oh, village idiot, he's complicated

Village idiot, he's got a simple mind

Village idiot, must know something

But he's just not saying

[Verse 4]

Well, you all know he's onto something

You can see it in his eye

Sometimes he looks so happy

When he goes walking by

[Outro]

Sometimes he looks so happy

When he goes walking by

Sometimes he looks so happy

When he goes walking by
