WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN SCHOOL TODAY?

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 every body'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.

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 mis take sometimes.

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

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.

I learned our government must be strong,

It's always right and never wrong.

Our leaders are the finest men,
