Hava nagila, hava nagila,
Am          E
Hava nagila venis'mecha.

Hava nagila, hava nagila,
Hava nagila venis'mecha.

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 of sleep in two thousand years!

   Dm     E          Am   Am/C
Ecumenically we're acceptable.
E          E7        Am
Oh, what a joy to be clean.


      A            D
We're clean, we're clean,
            E          A
The Vatican says we're clean.
                         D
We're good and sweet and gentle too,
   B7             E
We did no harm to you know who.
      A            D
We're clean, we're clean,
            E          A
The Vatican says we're clean.

Mazel tov!

Hava nagila, hava nagila,
Hava nagila venis'mecha.

      Dm            E        Am
We'll erase all the old persecution.
          E                Am
It wasn't vicious, just capricious.
         Dm          E         Am
We'll forget and not fret over what has been.
   E           E7        Am
Oh boy, what a joy to be clean.

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!

Hava nagila, hava nagila,
Hava nagila venis'mecha.

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.

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!"

-Wait a minute... If we didn't do it, who did?
-The Puerto Ricans!

  A         D
Absolved, absolved, 
            E      A
The problem is all solved.

Solved, solved, solved, solved,
    D         E       A - D - E - A
The Pope says we're absolved!
