You're An Education Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren Performer(s): Michael Feinstein; Bob Crosby; Three Symphonettes
Must I memorise a book To be considered wise When I can look into your eyes
Literature is such a bore And mathematics too I'd much prefer to learn about you....
You're the only kind of knowledge They don't teach at any college You're an education in yourself
There are poems and romances In the glamour of your glances You're an education in yourself
Of all the famous dates in hist'ry I recall but a few The fourth of July And my dates with you
You've a kiss that's scientific Tho' it's tender, it's terrific You're an education in yourself
You're the kind of mental training I could take without complaining You're an education in yourself
Intricate as economics Simple as the Sunday comics You're an education in yourself
And there are geometric figures In your beautiful curves They're good on the eyes But bad on the nerves
You are my encycloped'yuh Let me take you home and read yuh You're an education in yourself
