Spoken: A trip around the world starts off with a good old-fashioned hoedown!
Spoken: Now over in Europe they wouldn’t call it a “hoedown” but it would have the same rhythm. It would be called a “polka”, “mazurka” or something like that.
Spoken: Down in the new land of Israel they wouldn’t call it a polka. It would be a big circle dance called the “höra” and here it is.
Artza alinu, artza alinu,
Artza alinu, alinu,
Artza alinu, arta alinu,
Artza alinu.
K’va charashnu,
V’gam zaranu,
K’va charashnu,
V’gam zaranu,
Aval ad lo katzarnu,
Aval ad lo katzarnu.
Aval ad lo katzarnu,
Aval ad lo katzarnu.*
Spoken: Coming back across the ocean, down in the West Indies, it’s a little song called:
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo,
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo.
(Solo) Pretty little girl, won’t you come out with me?
(Chorus) Hey lilee, lilee lo.
(Solo) There’s a side of myself that I want you to see.
(Chorus) Hey lilee, lilee lo!
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo,
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo.
(Solo) Married man will keep your secret,
(Chorus) Hey lilee, lilee lo
(Solo) Single boy will talk about you,
(Chorus) Hey lilee, lilee lo!
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo,
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo!
Sing this song in ev’ry land,
Dance together, hand in hand.
Repeat 3 times:
Hey lilee, lilee, lilee,
Hey lilee, lilee lo.
