What did You Learn in School Today? Songtext
von The Chad Mitchell Trio

Two and two are four
And four and four are eight
And two and two are four ABCDEFG
Four and four are eight HIJKLMNOP
Two and two are four

(What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?)

I learned that Washington never told a lie
I learned that soldiers seldom die
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 (Huh-huh, good boys)

(Now, what did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys 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 sometime
And that's what I learned in school today
That′s what I learned in school (Study hard now)

(What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?)

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 (Well)

(What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?
What did you learn in school today
Dear little boys of mine?)


I learned our government must be strong
It′s always right, never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
And so we elect them again and again
And that's what I learned in school today
That′s what I learned in school

That's what I learned in school today
That′s what I learned in school (Two and two are four)
That's what I learned in school (Two and two are four)
That's what I learned in school (Two and two are four)
Two and two are four, two and two are four
