Hello Dolly,......well, hello, Dolly

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

You're lookin' swell, Dolly.......I can tell, Dolly

You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong

I feel that room swayin'......while the band's playin'

One of your old favourite 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 lookin' swell, Dolly.....I can tell, Dolly

You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong

I feel the room swayin'...while that ole band keeps on playin'

One of your old favourite songs from way back when

So...golly, gee, fellas....find her an empty knee, fellas

Dolly'll never go away....I said she'll never go away

Dolly'll never go away again
