All I Ever Needed To Know, I Learned in Kindergarten  In the spoken intro, voices say the title phrase “All I I ever need to know, I learned in kindergarten"--in Spanish (Todo lo que tengo que saber...) and French (En verite, tout ce qu’ill faut que je saie...). Of course, it would be better to have other major languages....In fact, there are several places in the song where more can be fitted in.  CHORUS   All l ever need to know I learned in kindergarten          When I have to choose which way to go, I know just what to do          I recall those rules I learned in school, when I was only startin' –          'Cause all I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten!   VERSE           We're in this world together, the first thing is to share.                Don't take what isn't yours, and try to play fair.                Be kind to your neighbor -- you know that's right to do!                And don't expect other people to clean up after you CHORUS       All I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten . . . VERSE               Like the seed the teacher had us plant, in that little cup --                           With love and care, the roots grow down, and the leaves will grow up.                           Like us, they want to reach the light, and a place in the sun,                           And this world can be that place for you and me and everyone CHORUS  All I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten                So when I have to choose which way to go, I know just what to do                I recall those rules I learned in school, when I was only startin' –                'Cause all I ever need to know I learned in kindergarten! VERSE            Watch out in traffic, hold somebody's hand,                We must take care of each other -- that's not hard to understand.                 And the kings and queens and presidents, they might get along                When they sit down at the table, if they start out with this song: CHORUS  All we ever need to know we learned in kindergarten                So when we have to choose which way to go, we know just what to do                                [Pues, yo se a donde tengo que caminar...]                We recall those rules we learned in school, when we were only startin'                'Cause all we ever need to know we learned in kindergarten!                 Music and lyrics copyright 1995-2003 by Brad Burg
