Pete Seeger - What Did You Learn In School Today? mp3 download

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 learned that everybody’s free
And that’s what the teacher said to me
And 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 the policemen are my friends
I learned that justice never ends
I learned that murderers pay 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
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 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 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 that’s what I learned in school today
That’s what I learned in school
