Lyrics:
Chorus
Shalom, Shalom chaverim.
Shalom, Shalom yeladim.
Now take both your hands and clap them.
Now take your arms and reach to the sky.
Now take one hand and wave to a friend. Shalom, Shalom, Shalom! (Chorus)
Now take your toes and wiggle them.
Now take your eyes and blink them.
Now find your mouth and smile to a friend. Shalom, Shalom, Shalom! (Chorus)
Now blow someone a kiss,
And give yourself a hug.
Now everybody sing "Shalom!"
Shalom, Shalom, Shalom
