"There's A Lot Of Things You Never Learn At School"
Dan W. Quinn
Victor 2409
1903
From the 1902 musical "The Wizard of Oz."
Song by Ed. Gardenier and Edwin S. Brill.
I confess when I left college with a bunch of high class knowledge
My cranium was not its normal size
All the high degrees--I'd won them all
The toughest problems done them
I simply thought the earth would be my prize
But I found my education didn't seem to jar the nation
I find no streets named after me today
I meet folks without much learning in a way beyond discerning
They're teaching me new wrinkles every day
There's a lot of things you never learn at school
There's a lot of things that never go by rule
There's an awful lot of knowledge
That you'll never get at college
There's a lot of things you never learn at school
