CHORUS

Hello, hello, just want to say hello.

Hello, hello, from Japan to Mexico.

Everyone around the world will always say hello.

In Brazil they say, "bohn-DEE-ya,"*

In Hungary it's, "ser-VOOS,"

And a señorita in México will say, "HO-la" to you.

A Chinese friend will say, "NEE-how,"

A Russian, "ZDRAST-vui-tye,"

In Israel they say, "sha-LOM" to you,

And "NAM-uh-stay" in Bombay.

CHORUS

In Ireland they say, "DEE-a hweet,"

And, "ko-NI-chi-wa" in Japan,

And in the desert in Egypt it's,

"aha-LANE wah SA-ha lane."

In France they say, "bon-JOUR,"

In Zaire it's, "DJAM-bo,"

But right back here in the USA,

Americans say, "Hello!"
