[Chorus]
GWhat did you learn in school today, dear little boy of D7mine,
GWhat did you learn in school today, D7dear little boy of GmiG7ne?
[Verse]
I Clearned that Washington Gnever told a lie,
I Clearned that soldiers Gseldom die.
I Clearned that everyGbody's free,
CThat's what the teacher Gsaid to me.
And Gthat's what I learned in school today, D7that's what I learned in Gschool.
[Chorus]
GWhat did you learn in school today, dear little boy of D7mine,
GWhat did you learn in school today, D7dear little boy of GmiG7ne?
[Verse]
I Clearned that policemen Gare my friends,
I Clearned that justice Gnever ends.
I Clearned that murderers Gdie for their crimes,
CEven if we make a misGtake sometimes.
And Gthat's what I learned in school today, D7that's what I learned in Gschool.
[Chorus]
GWhat did you learn in school today, dear little boy of D7mine,
GWhat did you learn in school today, D7dear little boy of GmiG7ne?
[Verse]
I Clearned our government must be Gstrong,
It's Calways right and never Gwrong.
Our Cleaders are the finest Gmen,
And Cso we elect them aGgain and again.
And Gthat's what I learned in school today, D7that's what I learned in Gschool.
[Chorus]
GWhat did you learn in school today, dear little boy of D7mine,
GWhat did you learn in school today, D7dear little boy of GmiG7ne?
[Verse]
I Clearned that wars are Gnot so bad,
I Clearned of the great ones Gwe have had.
We Cfought in Germany and in GFrance,
And Csomeday I might get my Gchance.
And Gthat's what I learned in school today, D7that's what I learned in Gschool.
