Hava naghila
Hava naghila

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!
Hava naghila
Hava naghila
Hava naghila ve nis'mecha
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!
Hava naghila
Hava naghila
Hava naghila ve nis'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...
Absolved, absolved
The problem is all solved
Solved, solved, solved, solved
The Pope says we're absolved
Shalom alekhem
Shalom alekhem
Shalom, shalom, shalom alekhem
Shalom alekhem
Hevenu shalom alekhem
Hevenu shalom alekhem
Hevenu shalom, shalom, shalom alekhem

Scritta da Patricia Eliran (?)
Nell'album "That's The Way It's Gonna Be"
Nel 1965 Chad Mitchell lasciò il trio e venne sostituito da Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., meglio conosciuto come John Denver (1943-1997)
Testo trovato su LyricWiki
Credo che la canzone si riferisca – ironicamente - al "Decretum de Judaeis" di Paolo VI (1961), documento poi confluito nei documenti del Concilio Vaticano II...
