The Lessons I Learned lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 song lyrics
