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.
