Time to Say “Bye”

(Sung to: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

   It's summer and we are excited.
   
    E7         A7
   
   The summer has come now at last.
   
    D        G        D
   
   We're going to be on vacation,
   
    E7              A7         D
   
   This school year has gone by so fast!
   
    D      G
   
   Time to say "Bye",
   
    A7                            D
   
   To all of the friends that we've made this year!
   
    D       G
   
   Summer's here now,
   
    A7                            D
   
   It won't be long 'till we're back here!
(And soon we will all be back here!)
  

Use whichever ending you prefer!

   I'll Be On Vacation
A Teacher's Song
(Sung to: Sing a Song of Sixpence)
   
    G
   
   I'll be on vacation
   
    D
   
   You will see my dust!
   
    D
   
   I'll run out the door and ~
   
    G
   
   Slow down if I must!
   
    G
   
   I'll tell my students, "Bye" and ~
   
    D
   
   I'll miss them it is true.
   
    D
   
   And even though I love to teach,
   
    D                  G
   
   I love the summer too!
  

If all the teachers want to sing this to a group of students, the "I" can be changed to "We" (with all the appropriate changes)

Last line can be changed to:

"I love vacation too!" if that is more suitable
