Luis: Each time we meet
At work or the street
We always say `hello`
But you say
Maria: `Hola`
Luis: And I say, `hola`
Both: It`s a word that we both know
`Hola` means `hi`
`Hello`, not `goodbye`
Why, everywhere you go
Maria: The girls say `hola`
Luis: The boys say `hola`
Both: `Cause `hola` means `hello`
(they dance as background voices oooh and ahhh)
Both: It`s not just a fad
Tell Mommy and Dad
That `hola``s what to say
Luis: So try an `hola`
Maria: Repeat, say `hola`
Both: Tell them `hola``s here to stay
Maria: Latins from Alaska
Or from Spain or Saint Nebraska
All say `hola` when they mean `hello`
Luis: Latins from Havana
Or Detroit or Old Montana
Know that`s just how the old greeting goes
Both: Latins from Queens and the hip Argentines
Say `hola` when greeting each other
We know the way, we can all say
`Hola, what`s happening, brother?`
Take it from us
And don`t make a fuss
We want you in the know
So just say `hola`
Come on, say `hola`
Say `hola` instead of `hello`
