Lyrics

George W. Gibbs Jr..George W. Gibbs Jr..

George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary

He was a man/an African American

He sailed the sea/to see what he could see

and this is what he found

Antarctica was the place

he was the first man of his race

he was 22 when it all began/our friend Mr. Gibbs/he was quite a man

George W. Gibbs Jr..George W. Gibbs Jr..

George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary

It was a land of snow and ice/the sights were outta sight

Whales and seals all over the place

Can't forget "the penguin-with it's cute little face

Do the penguin!..we're talking about

George W. Gibbs Jr..George W. Gibbs Jr..

George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary

Adventure was his game/today/his very name

Is given to a street where we live

There's even a peninsula...called Gibbs

George W. Gibbs Jr..George W. Gibbs Jr..

George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary

We honor his memory/from sea to shining sea

He left us a legacy

Be the best thing that you can be and live with dignity!

George W. Gibbs Jr..George W. Gibbs Jr..

George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary

We're talking 'bout George W. Gibbs Jr./George W. Gibbs Jr./George W. Gibbs Jr..Elementary!
