What Did You Learn in School Today?


Capo 2nd fret

C What did you learn in school today, G7 Dear little boy of mine? C What did you learn in school today, G7 C Dear little boy of mine? F C I learned that Washington never told a lie. F C I learned that soldiers seldom die. F C I learned that everybody's free. F C And that's what the teacher said to me. C That's what I learned in school today. G7 C 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 policemen 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 our government must be strong.
It's always right and never wrong.
Our leaders are the finest men.
And we elect them again and again.
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 of the great ones we have had.
We fought in Germany and in France.
And some day I might get my chance.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1962)
