Wonderful World (1960)
By Sam Cooke
Don't know much about history,
Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography,
Don't know much trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra,
Don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now, I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
But I'm tryin' to be.
For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby,
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history,
Don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.
La-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, history
Hm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, Biology. Whoa
La-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, Science book
Hm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, French I took. Yeah
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
what a wonderful world this would be.
