Music: Jerry Herman   Lyrics: Jerry Herman   Book: Don Appell   Premiere: Tuesday, October 10, 1961         Shalom, Shalom,    You'll find Shalom    The nicest greeting you know;    It means bonjour, salud, and skoal    And twice as much as hello.    It means a million lovely things,    Like peace be yours,    Welcome home.    And even when you say goodbye,    You say goodbye with Shalom.       It's a very useful word,    It can get you through the day;    All you really need to know,    You can hardly go wrong,    This is your home as long as you say:    Shalom,    The nicest greeting I know;    Shalom,    Means twice as much as hello.    It means a million lovely things,    Like peace be yours,    Welcome home.    And even when you say goodbye,    If your voice has    "I don't want to go" in it,    Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,    And say goodbye with shalom.       It's the most amazing thing    That I think I've ever heard    ???       Shalom, Shalom,    I find Shalom    The nicest greeting you know;    It means bonjour, salud, and skoal    And twice as much as hello.    It means a million lovely things,    Like peace be yours,    Welcome home.    And even when you say goodbye...    If your voice has    "I don't want to go" in it,    Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,    And say goodbye with shalom.
