Hello Dolly, I said, hello Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
Ah, you're looking swell, Dolly, we can tell, Dolly
You're still glowing, you're still growing, you're going strong

We feel the room swaying for the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when
So take her wrap fellas, find her an empty lap fellas
Dolly, never go away again

(ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
