[DOLLY]
Hello, Harry
Well, hello Louie
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You're looking swell, Danny
I can tell, Manny
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 favorite 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
[DOLLY]
So 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
Hello, Dolly
Well hello Dolly
Well hello, Dolly (Hey look there's Dolly)
[DOLLY]
Glad to see you Hank, let's thank my lucky star
[WAITERS]
Your lucky star
[DOLLY]
You're lookin' great, Stanley
Lose some weight, Stanley?
Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par
[WAITERS]
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you still get glances from us handsome men
So...
[DOLLY]
Golly gee, fellas
Find me a vacant knee, fellas
[WAITERS]
Dolly'll never go away again
(A DANCE follows Dolly and the waiters)
[WAITERS]
Well, well hello, Dolly
Well hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell, Dolly
We can tell, Dolly
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you still get glances from us handsome men
So...
[DOLLY]
Wow wow wow, fellas
