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 soldier's seldom die,
I learned that everybody's free,
That's what the teacher said to me.
I learned that police men are my friends,
I learned that justice never ends,
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
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 wars are not so bad,
I learned of the great ones that we've had,
E fought in Germany and in France,
I hope someday I get my chance.
I learned our Government must be strong,
It's always right and it's never wrong,
Our leaders are the finest men,
So we elect them again and again.
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.
