Chad Mitchell Trio - Ecumenical March lyrics

Sholom aleichem Sholom aleichem Sholom aleichem Sholom, sholom, sholom aleichem Sholom aleichem Hevenu sholom aleichem Hevenu sholom aleichem Hevenu sholom, sholom, sholom aleichem Hava nagila Hava nagila Hava nagila venis'mecha Hava nagila Hava nagila Hava nagila venis'mecha The Vatican has made it official Us Jews didn't k** Jesus They shouldn't blame us We're not responsible As for me, last night I had my first good night of sleep In two thousand years Ecumenically we're acceptable Oh what a joy to be clean We're clean, we're clean The Vatican says we're clean We're good and sweet And gentle too We did no harm to you know who We're clean, we're clean The Vatican says we're clean Mazel Tov! Hava nagila Hava nagila Hava nagila venis'mecha We'll erase all the old persecution It wasn't vicious Just capricious We'll forget and not fret over what has been Oh boy what a joy to be clean We're clean, we're clean The Vatican says we're clean We're good and sweet And gentle too We did no harm to you know who We're clean, we're clean The Vatican says we're clean Everybody dance! Hava nagila Hava nagila Hava nagila venis'mecha We'll forgive all the old inquisition We won't lament it They never meant it We'll be raised and be praised with gentility Oh gee can't you see we're absolved Absolved, absolved The Pope says we're absolved So take a Christian by the hand And let's all shout "It's grand, it's grand" -Wait a minute... If we didn't do it, who did? -The Puerto Ricans Absolved, absolved The problem is all solved Solved, solved, solved, solved The Pope says we're absolved
