Hello, Dolly!

Dolly:

Hello, rudy

Well, hello harry

It's so nice to be back home where I belong

You are looking swell, manny

I can tell, danny

You're still glowin', you're still crowin'

You're still goin' strong

I feel the room swayin'

For the band's playin'

One of my old fav'rite songs from 'way back when

So, bridge that gap, fellas

Find me an empty lap, fellas

Dolly'll never go away again

Waiters:

Hello, dolly,

Well hello, dolly,

It's so nice to have you back where you belong

You're looking swell, dolly,

We can tell, dolly,

You're still glowin', you're still crowin'

You're still goin' strong.

We feel the room swayin'

For the band's playin'

One of your old fav'rite songs from 'way back when, so...

Dolly:

Here's my hat fellas

I'm stayin' where I'm at, fellas

Waiters:

Promise you'll never go away again

Dolly:

I went away from the lights of fourteenth street

And into my personal haze

But now that I'm back in the lights of 14th street

Tomorrow will be brighter than the good old days

Waiters:

Those good old days

Dolly:

Tell 'em to be sweet!

Waiters:

Hello, well hello dolly!

Well hello, hey look there's dolly!

Dolly:

Glad to see you hank, let's thank my lucky star

Waiters:

Dolly:

Lose some weight, I think, I think you did,stanley?

Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par

Waiters:

I hear the ice tinkle

Dolly:

Do you hear the ice tinkle

Waiters:

See the lights twinkle

Dolly:

Can you see the lights twinkle

Waiters:

And you still get glances from us handsome men

So...

Dolly:

Look at you all, you're all so handsome

Golly gee, fellas

Find me a vacant knee, fellas

Waiters:

Dolly'll never go away again
