    dear little boy of mine, What did you

    of mine?                                                                                            
                                                                                                        
I learned that Washington never told a lie, I                                                           
learned that soldiers seldom die. I learned that                                                        
everybody's 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.                                                                 
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
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. And that's what I learned                                                          
in school today, that's what I learned in school.                                                       
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
I learned that wars are not so bad, I learned of                                                        
the great ones we have had. We fought in Germany                                                        
and in France, And someday I might get my                                                               
chance. And that's what I learned in school                                                             
today, that's what I learned in school.                                                                 
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
I learned our government must be strong, It's                                                           
always right and never wrong. Our leaders are                                                           
the finest men, And so we elect them again and                                                          
again. And that's what I learned in school
