[Intro: 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

[Verse 1: Waiters, Dolly]
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...
Here's my hat fellas
I'm stayin' where I'm at, fellas
Promise you'll never go away again
[Refrain: Dolly, 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
Those good old days
Tell it to me sweet!

[Verse 2: Waiters, Dolly, Both]
Hello, well, hello Dolly!
Well, hello, hey look, there's Dolly!
Glad to see you Hank, let's thank my lucky star
Your lucky star
You're lookin' great, Stanley
Lose some weight, I think, I think you did, Stanley?
Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par
I hear the ice tinkle
Do you hear the ice tinkle?
See the lights twinkle
Can you see the lights twinkle?
And you still get glances from us handsome men
Look at you all, you're all so handsome
Golly gee, fellas
Find me an empty knee, fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: Louis Armstrong, Dolly, Both]
Well, hello
Look who's here!
Dolly, this is Louis
Hello, Louis!
Dolly, it's so nice to have you back where you belong
I am so glad to be back!
Are you lookin' swell
Thank you, Louis!
Dolly! I can tell
Does it show?
Dolly! You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still
Uhm... goin' strong
I feel the room swayin' (Pee pee pah dah pee pah)
And the band's playin' (Pah pah pah dee pah dee pah pah)
One of our old favorite songs from way back when, so! (Pah pah pah pah pah pah pah)
I remember it so, it was my favorite!
Show some snap, fellas (Yeah!)
Find her an empty lap, fellas (Yeahuuhm!)
Dolly'll never go away again...

[Verse 4: Waiters, Dolly]
Well, well, hello, Dolly
Well, hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're looking swell, Dolly (Wow)
We can tell, Dolly (Wow)
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
[Outro: Waiters, Dolly, Both]
I hear the ice tinkle (I hear it tinkle)
See the lights twinkle (I see them twinkle)
And you still get glances from us handsome men
So...
Mmm, wow, wow, wow, fellas (Hey, yeah!)
Look at the old girl now, fellas (Wow!)
Dolly'll never go away
Dolly'll never go away
Dolly'll never go away again
