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.

So, golly gee, fellas,
find her a vacant knee, fellas.
Dolly'll never go away,
Dolly'll never go away,
Dolly'll never go away again.
