I Believe, I Do

I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I believe exactly what they tell me to
I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I'm a simple guy, I believe
Oh, the building inspector came around
And he poked his head inside my door
Just as the plaster missed his head
Then he smiled and said
"Well the building looks quite safe to me"
And I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I believe exactly what they tell me to
I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I'm a simple guy, I believe
The politician told me just the other day
That he really didn't want the job at all
But he would make this sacrifice for me
If I would only place my trust in him
And I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I believe exactly what they tell me to
I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I'm a simple guy, I believe
And the labour leader told his membership
That his limousine was no extravagance at all
His cocktail parties at Miami Beach
Merely helped him roll the Union on
And I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I believe exactly what they tell me to
I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I'm a simple guy, I believe
The Commissioner of Public Safety called
On the people to support their local cops
Who never ever use any extra force
When a kindly word would do as well
And I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I believe exactly what they tell me to
I believe, I do; I believe it's true
I'm a simple guy, I believe
