You're Going Back To School

TransGriot Note: Here's another one of my song rewrites. It's dedicated to my Canadian homegirl and all the parents of kids who think this is the most wonderful time of the year and not Christmas.





Sung to the tune of 'Going To See The King' by Andrae Crouch


Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
You're going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
You're going back to school

[Bridge:]
Another day off the calendar we can cross
Another day closer to peace of mind
Shopping for the school clothes that you'll need
Give us strength till that blessed day arrives.

(Speaking)
Time to get that education...Time to learn how to sign your name...So get washed up kids and go to bed...Because tomorrow is your first school day...So you'll have a better life than we did, we scrimp save and sacrifice...It's back to school time..sweet dreams..soon and very soon.

[Chorus]
Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Soon and very soon
You are going back to school

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
You're going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

No more cryin there,
You are going back to school

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
You're going back to school

Another day off the calendar we can cross
Another day closer to peace of mind
Shopping for the school stuff that you'll need
Give us strength till that blessed day arrives.

[Ending:]
Hallelujah
Halleljuah
You're going back to school!
