Lyrics:
I’m going on a big trip, I’m going to Israel
I’m going to take a lit of things, so I’ll be comfortable
Nisiya Tova, I’ll se you real soon,
Shalom, L’hitrayot I’m really gonna miss you
(children can echo each line, with an affirmative answer, listen for example)
Will you take your toothbrush?
Will take your pillow?
How about your suitcase?
Will you take your camera?
CHORUS
Will you see Jerusalem?
Will you see the Kotel?
And will you see Haifa?
And will you climb Masada?
CHORUS
Will you eat falafel?
And will you eat some Schwarma?
A little bit of cous-cous?
And don’t forget the Hummus!
FINAL CHORUS
I’m going on a big trip, I’m going to Israel
I’m going to see a lot of things, it will be wonderful
Nisiya Tova, I’ll se you real soon,
Shalom, L’hitraot (Shalom, L’hitraot)
I’m really gonna miss you (I’m really gonna miss you)
See ya! (Bye-Bye!)
