I'm not sure who did this song I think it's Tom Paxton and I know Pete Seeger released a version.
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 everybody`s free,
and that`s what the teacher said to me.
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 policemen are my friends,
I learned that justice never ends,
I learned that murderers die for their crimes,
even if we let them escape 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 that government must be strong,
it`s always right and never wrong,
our leaders are the finest men,
and we elect them again and again and 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 about the great ones we have had,
we fought in Germany and in France,
and some day I will get my chance.
