****** Lucky Charm Song
Don't know much about history
Don't know much about foreign policy
1 Don't remember how I got through
school
I'm sure I didn't break the rules
But whafs it matter 'cause my granny
says
"Boy, if you want to you can be vice
prez
and what a wonderful world this will
be"
, Don't know much about the women's
vote
Don't know much about the bill I wrote'
Don't know much about the foreign
vets
I've never voted for 'em yet
I But I do know if your dad tries hard
; He can get you in the National Guard
And what a wonderful place that can be
Now, I never claimed to be an A
student
But whafs wrong with C's?
And maybe by knowing the names of
my cabinet
I can win their love for me
Don't know much about air pollution
Don't know much about the
constitution
Don't know much about th' economy
It never much affected me
But there's one thing that I know for
sure
If the rich stay rich and poor stay poor
"What a wonderful world this will be
Don't know much about the national
debt
I've never had to pay one yet
If we need to wa.can sell the States
To the Japanese at discount rates
But I do know if things get bad
George and I can always call my dad
And what a wonderful world it will be.
