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
