ALL
I EVER NEED TO KNOW
(
I LEARNED
IN KINDERGARTEN
)
In the spoken
intro, voices say the title phrase
“All I I ever need to
know, I learned in kindergarten"--in Spanish (Todo lo que
tengo que saber...) and French (En verite, tout ce qu’ill faut
que je saie...). Of course, it would be better
to have other major languages....In fact, there are
several places where more can be
fitted in....
CHORUS
All l ever need to know I learned in
kindergarten
When I have to choose which way to go, I know just what
to do
I
recall those rules I learned in school, when I was only
startin' –
'Cause
all I ever need to know I learned in
kindergarten!
VERSE
We're in this world together, the
first thing is to share.
Don't take what isn't yours, and try to play
fair.
Be kind to your neighbor -- you know that's right to
do!
And don't expect other people to clean up after
you
CHORUS All I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten
. . .
VERSE
Like the seed the teacher had us plant, in that little
cup --
With love
and care, the roots grow down, and the leaves will grow
up.
Like us,
they want to reach the light, and a place in the
sun,
And this world can be
that place for you and me and
everyone
CHORUS All I ever need to know I learned in
kindergarten
So when I have to choose which way to go, I know
just what to do
I recall those rules I learned in school, when I
was only startin' –
'Cause
all I ever need to know I learned in
kindergarten!
VERSE
Watch out in traffic,
hold somebody's hand,
We must take care of each other -- that's not hard to
understand.
And the kings and queens and presidents, they
might get along
When they sit down at the table, if they
start out with this
song:
CHORUS All
we ever need to
know we learned in
kindergarten
So
when we
have to choose which way to go, we
know just what to do
[Pues, yo se a donde tengo que
caminar...]
We recall those rules
we learned in school, when we were only
startin'
'Cause all we ever need to know we learned in
kindergarten!
