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 never die. |
|
I learned that everybody's free, |
|
And that's what the teacher said to me. |
|
Chorus |
|
That's what I learned in school today, |
|
That's what I learned in school. |
|
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 policemen are my friends. |
|
I learned that justice never ends. |
|
I learned that murderers die for their crimes |
|
Even if we make a mistake sometimes. |
|
Chorus |
|
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 Government must be strong; |
|
It's always right and never wrong; |
|
Our leaders are the finest men |
|
And we elect them again and again. |
|
Chorus |
|
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 ones we have had; |
|
We fought in Germany and in France |
|
And someday I might get my chance. |
|
