It doesn't take a mathematician
To add a simple sum
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
It doesn't take Robert The Bruce
To see the web you've spun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
It doesn't take a Labrador
To show a blind man sun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars
Jupiter, Neptune and Mars
All these things I clearly see
It don't take a telescope for you to love me
Dumb, dumb, dumb
To add a simple sum
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
It doesn't take Robert The Bruce
To see the web you've spun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
It doesn't take a Labrador
To show a blind man sun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
Dumb, dumb, dumb
The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars
Jupiter, Neptune and Mars
All these things I clearly see
It don't take a telescope for you to love me
Dumb, dumb, dumb

this was my favourite song as a kid, along with perfect 10.
i'm so impressed thata i've grown up where the beautiful south came from; as they are one of my favourite bands.
it's pretty obvious meaning, it's so obvious that she is beautiful to him, and if she isn't, and she breaks his heart, he is dumb.
"It doesn't take a labrador
To show a blind man sun"
i love this line, as it's such an obvious statement, yet it's not obvious, it's not the first thing some one would think of when asked for an obvious statement.
