Shalom

Shalom, shalom
You'll find shalom
The nicest greeting you know
It means "bonjour", "salut", and "skol"
And twice as much as "hello"

It means a million lovely things
Like "peace be yours", "welcome home"
And even when you say "goodbye"
You say goodbye with "shalom"

It's a very useful word
It can get you through the day
All you really need to know
You can hardly go wrong
You're bilingual as long as you say

Shalom
The nicest greeting I know
Shalom
Means twice as much as hello
It means a million lovely things
Like "peace be yours", "welcome home"
And even when you say goodbye
If your voice has "I don't want to go" in it
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it
And say goodbye with "shalom"

It's the most amazing thing
That I think I've ever heard
Wait till Pulitz hears of you
All my floundering's done
I'm a native with one little word

Shalom (shalom)
I find shalom the nicest greeting I know
(It means) Bonjour, salut, and skol
And twice as much as "hello"
It means a million lovely things
Like "peace be yours", "welcome home"
And even when you say "goodbye"

If your voice has "I don't want to go" in it
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it
And say goodbye with "shalom"
