The Hello Song

When you visit different countries you'll discover as you go
That people have about a zillion ways to say hello (hello!)
The Spanish word is "hola"
The Italian is "ciao"
In Hebrew is "shalom"

And in Chinese is "ni hao"
In the Netherlands they say "hallo"
The Russians say "privet"
In Korea, they say "annyeong"
And we've hardly started yet

In Arabic, they say "marhaban"
They say "salam" in old Iran
The Hindi word is "namaste"
In Sweden people just say "hej"
In Germany it's "guten tag"
But in the south they say "grüß Gott"
In Czech, the greeting is "ahoj"
In Portuguese, "olá" or "oi"

Everywhere you go people say hello
Hello
It all means hello
In French a friendly greeting is "bonjour" or "salut"
In Swahili it's "hujambo"
And in Greek it's "yasou"
Hawaiians say "aloha"

In Japan they say "konichiwa"
In Hungary they say "szia"
In Burmese it's "mingalaba"
One thing you should know
Is that everywhere you go people say hello
Hello, it all means hello
Hello, hello, It all means hello
Hello, hello, It all means hello
Hello! (Hey!)
