Hello, Dolly!

[DOLLY]

Hello, Rudy

Well, hello, Harry

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

You are lookin' swell, Manny

I can tell, Danny

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

You're still, mmm, goin' strong

I feel the room swayin'

For the band's playin'

One of my old favorite songs from way back when

So, bridge that gap, fellas

Find me an empty lap, fellas

Dolly'll never go away again

[WAITERS]

Here's my hat, fellas

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

[WAITERS]

I went away from the lights of Fourteenth Street

And into my personal haze

But now that I'm back in the lights of Fourteenth Street

Tomorrow will be brighter than the good old days

[WAITERS]

Those good old days

[DOLLY, spoken]

Tell it to me sweet!

You're lookin' great, Stanley

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

Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par

[WAITERS & DOLLY]

I hear the ice tinkle (Do you hear the ice tinkle?)

See the lights twinkle (Can you see the lights twinkle?)

[WAITERS]

And you still get glances from us handsome men

[DOLLY]

Look at you all, you're all so handsome

Golly gee, fellas

Find me an empty knee, fellas
