Tom Robson - The Kindergarten Song Lyrics

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 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 back there in the sandbox
Oh, oh, 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
Say you're sorry to kids if you hurt 'em
Don't tease, say please
If somethin's not yours, then you shouldn't take it
Eat right, don't fight
And clean up the mess if you make it, yeah
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 things that I 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
Just like a little seed in a plastic cup
Oh, oh, 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
Say you're sorry to kids if you hurt 'em
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
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 could look both ways
And we'd stick together, when we cross the street

If I could take all the leaders in the world and put 'em 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, oh, oh, kindergarten taught me what I needed to know

The whole world would play fair, and share
And put things back where we found them
Talk nice, think twice
Say you're sorry to kids if we hurt 'em
Don't tease, say please
If somethin's not yours, then you shouldn't take it
Eat right, don't fight
And clean up the mess if you make it, yeah
Clean up the mess if you make it, yeah
