Yakko: There's a word in every language A word that you should know A word that means you're friendly A word used high and low. Though the way to say it varies Most everywhere you go Its meaning never changes And that word is... YW+D : ...Hello!
Yakko: In Germany it's 'guten Tag' Which also means 'good day' 'Ni hao' is exactly how Hello sounds in Taipei. In Portugal it's 'ola' In Arabic, 'salem' Saying 'zravo' means hello In Macedonian.
It's 'aloha' in Hawaii They say 'ya su' in Greece In Israel the word's 'shalom' And that means 'peace'. The Italians have 'buon giorno' The Viennese, 'servus' When you're at the Eiffel Tower Just smile and say 'salut!'
Yakko: In Nepal they say 'namaste' In Sweden, 'goddag' In Thailand, 'sabai dee roo' 'Dobri den' in Prague. In the Spanish language, 'hola' The Netherlands, it's 'dag' In Japanese, 'konnichi-wa' And 'hey' in Little Rock.
When you say 'u hali gani' Swahili is the tongue In Russian it's 'zdrahstvooyteh' Which sounds way better sung. If you're ever in Korea 'Ahnyung hahsay yo!' And in some parts of Brooklyn Hello is just plain 'yo!'
