Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello, Dolly
Well, hello Dolly
It's so nice to have you here where you belong
I never knew, Dolly
Without you, Dolly
Life was awfully flat and, more than that, was awfully wrong
[Verse 2]
Here's my hat, Horace
I'm staying where I'm at, Horace
Dolly'll never go away (Wonderful woman)
Again
[Verse 3]
Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream, your spirits seem to turn about
That Sunday shine is a certain sign that you feel as fine as you look!
[Verse 4]
Take the someone whose arms you're in
Hold onto her tight and spin
And one-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, look!
[Verse 5]
I held her for an instant
But my arms felt sure and strong
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long
[Verse 6]
Yes, it takes a woman, a dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh yes, it takes a woman, a fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life
[Verse 7]
Well, 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 glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong
You'll see the crowd swayin'
While the band's playin'
One of your old favourite songs from way back when
So
[Verse 8]
Wow, wow, wow, fellas
Look at the old girl now, fellas
[Verse 9]
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Again
