Píseň: Wonderful world

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Unforgettable 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 do 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 trying to be
So 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)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Biology)
La ta ta ta ta ta ta
(Science book)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(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
