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,
First ending:
So take her wrap, fellas, find her an empty lap, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again!
Second ending:
So golly gee, fellas, find her an empty knee, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away, Dolly’ll never go away
Dolly’ll never go away again!
