Hebrew, Hebrew
1. I’ve got a friend in Israel
He is just like me
He likes his friends
He likes to play sports
He likes to watch TV
He does his homework every night
But sometimes he forgets
But there’s one thing about my friend
I haven’t told you yet
My friend speaks…
Chorus (two times):
Hebrew, Hebrew
He speaks Hebrew
He doesn’t say “Hello” you know
He says “SHALOM”
Let me tell you about Hebrew
2. Hebrew isn’t
left to right
It reads from right to left
The first letter is ALEPH
And the 2nd letter is BET
His house is called a BAYIT
And ABBA is his Dad
And his sister gets KOESET
When he makes her mad,
And they speak . . .
Chorus (two times):
Hebrew, Hebrew
They speak Hebrew
They do not say, “Hello”
Ya know they say, “SHALOM!”
3. My friend came
to New York
To visit for a while
He told me we were CHAVERIM
And to hear that made me smile.
‘Cause CHAVERIM means “friends”
And our friendship’s here to stay.
We went outside to L’SACHEK
Which means we went to play,
And we spoke . . .
Chorus (two times):
Hebrew, Hebrew,
We spoke Hebrew
We didn’t say, “Hello”
You know we said, “SHALOM!”
We spoke Hebrew, Hebrew,
We spoke Hebrew
We didn’t say, “Goodbye”
We said, “L’HITRAOT”
