Lyrics:

Chorus:
Oh, what did you learn in school today
Dear little child of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little child of mine?

Verse One:
I learned that Washington never told a lie -
I learned our soldiers seldom die -
I learned that ev'ry body is 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 . . .

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two:
I learned our government must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
That's why we elect them again and again.
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school . . .

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three: (Slower, with drama and feeling)
I learned that wars are not so bad
I learned about the great ones we have had
We fought in Germany and in France
Someday soon I might get my chance.
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school . . .
