Ecumenical March Lyrics by The Chad Mitchell Trio

That’s the Way It’s Gonna Be

0

[Chorus A]
Sholom aleichem
Sholom aleichem
Sholom aleichem
Sholom, sholom, sholom aleichem

[Chorus A]
Sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom, sholom, sholom aleichem

[Chorus A]
Sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom aleichem
Hevenu sholom, sholom, sholom aleichem

[Chorus B]
Hava nagila
Hava nagila
Hava nagila ve-nismecha

[Verse 1]
The Vatican has made it official
Us Jews didn't kill Jesus
They shouldn't blame us
We're not responsible
As for me, last night I had my first good night sleep
In two thousand years

[Bridge]
Ecumenically we're acceptable
Oh, what a joy to be clean

[Chorus C]
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!

[Chorus B]
Hava nagila
Hava nagila
Hava nagila ve-nismecha

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus C]
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!

[Chorus B]
Hava nagila
Hava nagila
Hava nagila ve-nismecha

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus D]
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"

[Bridge]
Wait a minute
If we didn't do it, who did?
The Puerto Ricans!

[Chorus D]
Absolved, absolved
The problem is all solved
Solved, solved, solved, solved
The Pope says we're absolved
