What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned that school is now my home | I learned that school is now my home, |
I learned to study all alone | I learned to study all alone |
I watch TV and the internet | I watch TV and the Internet |
For the education I can get | for the education I can get |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |

What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned that policemen are my friends | I learned that denial causes death |
I learned they needn’t make amends | The virus can lurk on anyone’s breath |
I learned that kneeling on a black man’s neck | I learned to protect myself with a mask |
Means they won’t lose their pay cheque | I learned that there’s things I shouldn’t ask |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |

What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned delays caused many deaths | I learned that democracy can die, |
The virus comes with every breath | when our leaders cheat and lie |
I learned to protect myself with a mask | I learned that justice never ends, |
I learned there’s things I shouldn’t ask. | For the president and his friends |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |

What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned that Britain’s in the lead | I learned that our government doesn’t care |
For wasted millions and for greed | If bombs and tear gas fill the air |
Corona virus for the poor | I learned that the President called in the cops |
While the rich are gathering more and more. | So he could get his photo ops |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |

What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned that the cabinet have no cares | I learned that some cops take a knee |
Because they are all millionaires | when people protest peacefully |
They all went to public schools | But others kill Black women and men, |
They learned how to bend the rules | And they do it again and again |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |
| |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? | What did you learn at home today, dear little girl of mine? |
I learned when banners are unfurled | I learned when banners are unfurled |
That protest spreads around the world | That protest spreads around the world |
I learned that change is up to me | I learned that this world can be free |
I learned that this world can be free | I learned that change is up to me |
That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. | That’s what I learned at home today, that’s what I learned at home. |
