Nat King Cole - You Don't Learn That in School lyrics

Listen to me, children And take some good advice I'm gonna tell you somethin' Now don't make me say it twice You can put away your lessons Throw away your books 'Cause I'm gonna tell you what cooks Venus was a woman Who had a lot of charms But she got so much huggin' And she wore out both her arms But she don't learn that in school You don't learn that in school There ain't no doubt about it You don't learn that in school Napoleon was a soldier Smart as ever seen But he learned his maneuvers Alone with Josephine But you don't learn that in school You don't learn that in school There ain't no doubt about it You don't learn that in school Robin Hood was famous But one thing you should know He only robbed the rich folks 'Cause the poor folks had no dope But you don't learn that in school You don't learn that in school There ain't no doubt about it You don't learn that in school King Arthur was a hero He's famous everywhere He had a big round table 'Cause he couldn't stand the square But you don't learn that in school You don't learn that in school There ain't no doubt about it You don't learn that in school
