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

Ecumenically we're acceptable
Oh 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

Mazel Tov!

We'll erase all the old persecution
It wasn't vicious
Just capricious
We'll forget and not fret over what has been
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!

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 puertoricans

Absolved, absolved
The problem is all solved
The Pope says we're absolved
