Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello, Harry
Well, hello, Louie
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You're lookin' swell, Manny
I can tell, Danny
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
I feel the room swayin'
For the band's playin'
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 2]
Hello, Dolly
Well, hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' 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 favorite songs from way back when, so
[Verse 3]
Here's my hat, fellas
I'm  stayin' where I'm at, fellas
[Verse 4]
Promise you'll never go away again
[Verse 5]
I went away from the lights of Fourteenth Street
And into my personal haze
But now that I'm back in the lights of Fourteenth Street
Tomorrow will be brighter than the good old days
(Those good old days)
[Verse 6]
Hello (Well, hello, Dolly)
Well, hello (Hey, look, there's Dolly)
[Verse 7]
Glad to see you, Hank
Let's thank my lucky star (Your lucky star)
You're lookin' great, Stanley
Lose some weight, Stanley?
Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par
[Verse 8]
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you  still get glances from us handsome men, so
(And I still get glances from you handsome men, so)
[Verse 9]
Golly gee, fellas
Find me a vacant knee, fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
[Verse 10]
Well, well, hello, Dolly
Well, hello, Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
You're lookin' swell, Dolly
We can tell, Dolly
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
[Verse 11]
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you still get glances from us handsome men, so
(And I still get glances from you handsome men, so)
[Verse 12]
Wow, wow, wow, fellas (Hey, yeah)
Look at the old girl now, fellas (Wow)
Dolly'll never go away again
