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
