   Happy New Year to everyone!! And it will be a new year filled with singing and music if these wonderful choirs have anything to say about it! What a fantastic concert….I was so proud of everyone! So now we begin with new music and we will be giving our Spring Concert in a different place for the first time in many years! It will be fun to have the change. 
   Please mark your calendars with all of the dates that pertain to your respective choir so your singers are able to participate in everything. We have such a WONDERFUL website now with all of the schedules and forms and everything you might want to know. Of course, in inclement weather, always check the website for any last minute cancellations that may occur. hvcchoir.comI hope that everyone had a wonderful vacation and holiday and that you are all ready to begin the new season and year!

RIDING ON THE TOUR BUS

Listen to it!
(sung to Allouette)

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we’re riding to Sherbourne.
How did we get turned around,
On our way to public ground?
Late to bed, oh my head! OHHH!

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we’re going to see the sights.
Shall I wear my shorts today?
No a downpour’s on the way!
Shorts today, there’s no way!
Late to bed, oh my head! OHHH!

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we’re going to have some lunch.
Here’s a sandwich with some cheese.
Dry as sawdust in the breeze!
Chuck the lunch, thanks a bunch!
Shorts today, there’s no way!
Late to bed, oh my head! OHHH!

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we take a ferry ride.
Crossing on a sunny day.
WAIT the ferry’s gone away!
Waiting now, have a cow!
Chuck the lunch, thanks a bunch!
Shorts today, there’s no way!
Late to bed, oh my head! OHHH!

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we’re going to “Parie”.
Snacking at the Louvre today.
Fifteen Euros you must pay!
Pay to much, for your lunch!
Waiting now, have a cow!
Chuck the lunch, thanks a bunch!
Shorts today, there’s no way!
Late to bed, oh my head! OHHH!

On the bus, we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus, we’re singing all the way.
People cheering ’round the town.
Singing never lets us down!
Singing late, ain’t it great!
Pay too much, there’s no crunch!
Waiting now, we know how!
Chuck the lunch, have some brunch!
Shorts today, what the hay!
Late to bed, lay my head! OHHH!

On the bus we’re riding on the tour bus.
On the bus we’re singing all the way!
