Lyrics You Don't Learn That In School - 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
