G                                                      D7
What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine,

G                                   D7                 G G7
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.

  C                 G
I learned that everybody's free,

That's what the teacher said to me.

I learned that policemen are my friends,

  C                    G
I learned that justice never ends.

  C                      G
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,

C                    G
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.

    G                                      D7                       G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.

  C                              G
I learned our government must be strong,

     C                      G
It's always right and never wrong.

    C                      G
Our leaders are the finest men,

    C                 G
And so we elect them again and again.

    G                                      D7                       G
And that's what I learned in school today, that's what I learned in school.

I learned that wars are not so bad,

We fought in Germany and in France,

    C                      G
And someday I might get my chance.

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