I
love going to Israel
The best way to get there is to fly El Al It’s really more than just a bargain you see Getting shekels for my currency People come to Israel it plays the host To Hungarians, Moroccans and Broadway’s toast Speaking different languages they’re still understood While learning Hebrew in their neighborhood Haifa, Jaffa, Tel-Aviv From the top of Mt. Hermon to the dead Dead Sea Milk and honey, all this and more Israel’s the place that I adore Stay in a kibbutz and call it your own Share everything with everyone after all, it’s your home Israelis have a knack for hospitality And the tradition you don’t pay for it’s free The people are warm and the climate is hot With palm trees growing in the parking lot Come sip a Turkish coffee in a sidewalk caf? And watch the sunset over Haifa Bay West Coast, Upper Galilee, Captivating places that appeal to me Moshe, Yakov, take my hand And walk with me into this promised land Well, Miracles in Israel are commonplace And history records them each and every case Since the first prophet showed the way Seems almost every day’s a holiday I love going to Israel The best way to get there is to fly El Al It’s really more than just a bargain you see Getting shekels for my currency At the Kotel in Jerusalem your prayers will rise On the orange groves and desert fields come feast your eyes Shalom Aleichem everyone will chant When the plane touches holy land From Migdal HaEmek to Migdal Shalom It’s been a few millennia but now we’re home Ishimevet and Natalie come with me In Israel, you’re Jewish and you’re free I love going to Israel The best way to get there is to fly El Al It’s really more than just a bargain you see Getting shekels for my currency |
