The Hello Song

Animaniacs


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! 

YW+D : Hello! 
Hello! 
Hello! Hello! Hello! 
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! 
Hello! 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!" 

YW+D : Hello! 
Hello! 
Hello! 
Hello! 
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! 
Hello! Hello! 

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!" 

Y+W : Hello! 
Dot : Hello! 
Y+W : Hello! 
Dot : Hello... 
Y+W : Hello! 
Dot : Hello?? 
Y+W : Hello! 
Dot : Hello!! 
YW+D : Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! 
Hello! Hello! 

YW+D : Though the way to say it varies 
Most everywhere you go 
Its meaning never changes 
Hello! 
Hello!! 
Hello!!! 
G'bye
