There's lots of things I learned, When I was back in kindergarten, I learned most of what I needed to know About how to live, what to do, and how to be, I picked the wisdom from the top of the
learning tree, From how to love a friend, to how to match my
socks, I got it all right there in the sandbox, oh, Kindergarten taught me what I needed to know.
I learned how to play fair, and share, And put things back where I found them, Talk nice, think twice, And say you're sorry to kids if you hurt them, Don't tease, say please, If something's not yours, then you shouldn't
take it, Eat right, don't fight, And clean up the mess if you make it, yeah! I said, clean up the mess if you make it, yeah!
I remember all the things that I learned, When I was back in kindergarten, And I've got a lot of things That I've picked up along the way, But everything I know, and everything I gain, I just add to what I learned about Dick and
Jane, Because the roots go down, and then we all grow
up, Juse like the little seed in the plastic cup, Oh, kindergarten taught me, what I needed to
know.
I learned how to play fair, and share, And put things back where I found them, Talk nice, think twice, And say you're sorry to kids if you hurt them, Don't tease, say please, If something's not yours, then you shouldn't
take it, Eat right, don't fight, And clean up the mess if you make it, yeah! I said, clean up the mess if you make it, yeah!
Think of what a different world it would be, If we could all have cookies and milk at three, Every afternoon, we'd take a nap after we eat. Nobody would fight, we'd have peaceful days, 'Cause when we looked at a problem, we'd look
both ways, And we'd stick together, when we had to cross
the street
If I could take all the leaders in the world, And put them back in kindergarten, Maybe they'd remember what they learned About how to live, what to do, and how to be, Wisdom from the top of the learning tree, They'd see that love makes friends, They'd learn to not throw rocks...., Just like they learned it back in the sandbox,
oh, Kindergarten taught me what I needed to know,
The whole world could play fair, and share, And put things back where we found them, Talk nice, think twice, Say we're sorry to kids if we hurt them, Don't tease, say please, If something's not ours, then we shouldn't take
it, Eat right, don't fight, And clean up the mess if we make it, yeah! I said, clean up the mess if we make it, yeah!
