Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello, Harry, well, hello, Louie
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You're looking swell, Danny
I can tell, Manny
You're still glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong
[Verse 2]
I feel the room swaying
For the band's playing
One of my old favorite songs from way back when
So, bridge that gap, fellas
Find me an empty lap, fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
[Verse 3]
(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 glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong)
[Verse 4]
(We feel the room swaying)
(For the band's playing)
(One of your old favorite songs from way back when)
(So) Here's my hat, fellas
I'm staying where I'm at, fellas
(Promise you'll never go away again)
[Verse 5]
I went away from the lights of 14th 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
(Those good old days)
[Verse 6]
(Hello, Dolly, well, hello, Dolly)
Glad to see Hank, lets thank my lucky stars
(Your lucky stars)
Oh, you're looking great Stanley
I think you lost a little bit of weight, Stanley
Isn't that right?
Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and quite over
[Verse 7]
(I hear the ice tinkle)
La la la la la la
(See the lights twinkle)
Fa la la la la la la la
(And you still get glasses from a stack)
To be specific, you're all terrific
[Verse 8]
Golly gee, fellas
Find me a vacant knee, fellas
(Dolly'll never go away again)
[Verse 9]
Ah, look out boys
I got it all on tonight
[Verse 10]
Stay out of my way
[Verse 11]
Let's bring it on home
[Verse 12]
(Well 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 glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong)
[Verse 13]
(I hear the ice tinkle)
(See the lights twinkle)
(And you still get glances from us handsome men)
(So)
Wow wow wow fellas
(Hey, yeah)
Look at the old girl now, fellas
(Wow)
(Dolly'll never go away again)
