Lyrics

What did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? What did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? I learned that Washington never told a lie I learned that soldiers seldom die I learnd that everybody's free And thats what the teacher said to me And thats what I learned in school today Thats what I learned in school And what did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? What did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? I learned the policemen are my friends I learned that justice never ends I learned that murderes die for their crimes Even if we make a mistake sometimes And thats what I learned in school today Thats what I learned in school And what did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? What did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? I learned that war is not so bad I learned about the great once we had had We fought in Germany and in France And some day I might get my chance And thats what I learned in school today Thats what I learned in school And what did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? What did you learn in school today Dear little boy of mine? I learned our goverment must be strong It's always right and never wrong! Our leaders are the finest men And we elect them again and again And thats what I learned in school today Thats what I learned in school
