COME ON OVER TO GVP

May 21, 2017 By Jessica Lily

21 May

Based on the Spiritual “Come on up to Bright Glory” which became the Civil Rights anthem “If You Miss Me From the Back of the Bus”

If you miss me from SINGING down there
and you can’t find me nowhere
Just come on over to GVP I’ll be singing over there!

I’ll be singing over there; I’ll be singing over there
Just come on over to GVP I’ll be singing over there!

If you miss me from DANCING down there
and you can’t find me nowhere
Just come on over to GVP I’ll be singing over there!

We are the girls from GVP, we love to learn, we love to run free:
Yes we come from all around the world, that’s us, sisters, the GVP girls:
This is how we’re singing, this is how we’re dancing
This is how we’re learning at GVP. Hey!

C | G | G | C – C7
