Verse 1:

C majorC            FF      C majorC
When I was a little kid, not so long ago

  FF       C majorC       DmDm     G+G
I had to learn a lot of stuff I didn’t even know

    C majorC              FF
How to dress myself, tie my shoes, how to jump a rope

    A minorAm     FF        DmDm       G+G
How to smile for a picture without looking like a dope

    FF        C majorC     FF        C majorC
But of all the things I learned my favorite of them all

   FF      C majorC       DmDm      G+G
Was a little poem hanging on the Kindergarten wall:

Chorus:

G7G7 C majorC         FF         C majorC
Of all you learn here remember this the best:

FF        C majorC     DmDm      G+G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess

C majorC           FF
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat

   A minorAm       FF       DmDm          G+G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.

   FF     C majorC      FF      C majorC
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:

     C majorC  G+G  FF         FF   G+G   C majorC
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!

Chorus:

G7G7 C majorC         FF         C majorC
Of all you learn here remember this the best:

FF        C majorC     DmDm      G+G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess

C majorC           FF
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat

   A minorAm       FF       DmDm          G+G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.

   FF     C majorC      FF      C majorC
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:

     C majorC  G+G  FF         FF   G+G   C majorC
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!

Verse 2:

      C majorC     FF     C majorC
Well it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade, 4th grade too

    FF       C majorC         DmDm    G+G
Where I had to learn a lot of stuff that big kids do

  C majorC              FF
To add, subtract and multiply, read and write and play

    A minorAm        FF          G+G
How to sit in a little uncomfortable desk for nearly half a day

    FF          C majorC       FF         C majorC
But of all the things they taught me, of all the great and small

     FF        C majorC      DmDm      G+G
Still my favorite was the poem on the Kindergarten wall

Chorus:

G7G7 C majorC         FF         C majorC
Of all you learn here remember this the best:

FF        C majorC     DmDm      G+G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess

C majorC           FF
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat

   A minorAm       FF       DmDm          G+G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.

   FF     C majorC      FF      C majorC
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:

     C majorC  G+G  FF         FF   G+G   C majorC
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!

Verse 3:

  C majorC               FF        C majorC
But lately I’ve been worried as I look around and see

  FF      C majorC        DmDm       G+G
An awful lot of grown-ups acting foolish as can be

 C majorC                   FF
I know there’s lots of things to know I haven’t mastered yet

     A minorAm          FF         DmDm        G+G
Still it seems there’s real important stuff that grownups soon forget

  FF        C majorC       FF        C majorC
I’m sure we’d all be better off if we would just recall

   FF      C majorC       DmDm      G+G
That little poem hanging on the kindergarten wall.

Chorus:

G7G7 C majorC         FF         C majorC
Of all you learn here remember this the best:

FF        C majorC     DmDm      G+G
Don’t hurt each other and clean up your mess

C majorC           FF
Take a nap every day, wash before you eat

   A minorAm       FF       DmDm          G+G
Hold hands. Stick together. Look before you cross the street.

   FF     C majorC      FF      C majorC
And remember the seed in the little paper cup:

     C majorC  G+G  FF         FF   G+G   C majorC
First the root goes down and then the plant grows up!
