[Intro]
C G F F G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
When I was a little kid, not so long ago
F C Dm G
I had to learn a lot of stuff I didn’t even know
C F
How to dress myself, tie my shoes, how to jump a rope
Am F Dm G
How to smile for a picture without looking like a dope
F C F C
But of all the things I learned my favorite of them all
F C Dm G
Was a little poem hanging on the Kindergarten wall:
[Chorus]
G7 C F C
Of all you learn here remember this the best:
F C Dm G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess
C F
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat
Am F Dm G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.
F C F C
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:
C G F F G C
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!
[Chorus]
G7 C F C
Of all you learn here remember this the best:
F C Dm G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess
C F
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat
Am F Dm G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.
F C F C
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:
C G F F G C
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!
[Verse 2]
C F C
Well it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade, 4th grade too
F C Dm G
Where I had to learn a lot of stuff that big kids do
C F
To add, subtract and multiply, read and write and play
Am F G
How to sit in a little uncomfortable desk for nearly half a day
F C F C
But of all the things they taught me, of all the great and small
F C Dm G
Still my favorite was the poem on the Kindergarten wall
[Chorus]
G7 C F C
Of all you learn here remember this the best:
F C Dm G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess
C F
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat
Am F Dm G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.
F C F C
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:
C G F F G C
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!
[Verse 3]
C F C
But lately I’ve been worried as I look around and see
F C Dm G
An awful lot of grown-ups acting foolish as can be
C F
I know there’s lots of things to know I haven’t mastered yet
Am F Dm G
Still it seems there’s real important stuff that grownups soon forget
F C F C
I’m sure we’d all be better off if we would just recall
F C Dm G
That little poem hanging on the kindergarten wall.
[Chorus]
G7 C F C
Of all you learn here remember this the best:
F C Dm G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess
C F
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat
Am F Dm G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.
F C F C
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:
C G F F G C
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!
