I do believe the chorus should say "I wish I was a Lord Mayor, ..." instead of "I wish I was a Lord, Mayer,..." I also think the second line of the last verse ends with "Earl" instead of "Lord," but it's tough to make out. Lord would probably be a better rhyme, but I don't think it's in the list of people she can marry.

I wonder what the singer's election platform would be. "Uh, I should be mayor of this town because... um..." Somehow I don't think "I'd like to marry Miss Brown" will cut it.
