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
