You Don't Learn That In School Lyrics - Nat King Cole

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
