Here in the Philippines, they have a word.
A great way to start up each day,
When you want to say "Welcome, we wish you the best":
Just smile up a smile as you say,
Oh, oh, Mabuhay!
You're smilin', Mabuhay!
You're stylin', it's a great salutation, Mabuhay!
Mabuhay! Persuasion! Hello! You are delicious!
It's a one word flirtation, Mabuhay!
Won't you join us and try out this Philippine way,
To say welcome, we're glad that you came.
It's a neat little greeting to start up each day.
Just smile up a smile and exclaim,
Oh, oh, Mabuhay!
Hello there, Come join us.
Let's go there, Mabuhay!
God bless you, Mabuhay!
Mabuhay! you're singin',
Mabuhay! we're swingin',
May you have a wonderful day!
Well, there's one thing about it you can't live without!
Don't doubt it.
Just shout it.
Mabuhay!
