The Lessons I Learned lyrics

-LESSON NUMBER ONE-

Three Little Boys in a wishing well
Are secretly gathering wishes to sell
While our Bobby s asleep
He dreams of his cent in the deep
"Wish I may and wish I might, wish upon a splash
Turn all the people who touch it to ash!"
-MORAL-
Don t be a thief, my little dandelion

These are the lessons I learned, the lessons I learned

-LESSON NUMBER TWO-

With side to side desks in an English class
Side to side students are certain to pass
But our Mrs. Leni, catches a wandering eye
In a flash, an empty desk, and smoke fills the sky
Everyone wonders how she made her pies!
-MORAL-
Don t cheat or lie, my little Avalon

These are the lessons I learned, the lessons I learned

All of those lonely nights mother would rock me to sleep
Smoking a cigarette, crossing her legs in the corner, dark and deep

-LESSONS NUMBER THREE-
Grandmother stands at the side of the street
Opposite Alex can t wait for a treat
But our Bicycle Fleet cuts round the corner to meet
Granny and it takes her apart in a snap
All that remains is her daffodil hat
-MORAL-
Look every way, before you cross the street

These are the lessons I learned, the lessons I learned
