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:
Your lucky star

Dolly:
You're lookin' great, Stanley
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

[Instrumental]
