What Did You Learn In School Today

R: 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 learned that everybody's free,

That's what the teacher said to me

and that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.

R:

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,

and that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.

R:

I learned that wars are not so bad,

I learned of 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, that's what I learned in school.

R:

I learned our governament must be strong,

It's always right and never wrong.

Our leaders are the finest men

and so we elect them again and again.

And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.
