Must I memorize 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 youYou're the only kind of knowledge
They don't teach at any college
You're an education in yourselfThere are poems and romances
In the glamour of your glances
You're an education in yourselfOf all the famous dates in history
I recall but a few
The fourth of July
And my dates with youYou've a kiss that's scientific
Though it's tender it's terrific
You're an education in yourselfYou're the kind of mental training
I could take without complaining
You're an education in yourselfIntricate as economics
Simple as the Sunday comics
You're an education in yourselfAnd there are geometric figures
In your beautiful curves
They're good on the eyes
But bad for the nervesYou are my encyclopedia
Let me take you home and read ya
You're an education in yourself
You're an education in yourself
