What Did You Learn In School Today? Lyrics

[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?

[Verse 1]
I learned that Washington never told a lie
I learned that soldiers seldom die
I learned that everybody's free
And that's what the teacher said to me
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

[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?

[Verse 2]
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?

[Verse 3]
I learned our 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?

[Verse 4]
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
And that's what I learned in school today

[Chorus]
That's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
