Lyrics
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, take her wrap, fellas
Find her an empty lap, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again
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, golly gee, fellas
Find her a vacant knee, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again
