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 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 history
I recall but a few
The fourth of July and
My dates with you
You've a kiss that scientific
Though 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 for the nerves
You are my encyclopedia
Let me take you home and read ya
You're an education in yourself
You're an education in yourse
