Dolly:
Hello, Rudy
Well, Hello Harry
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You are looking 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 fav'rite songs from 'way back when
So, bridge that gap, fellas
Find me an empty lap, fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
Waiters:
Hello, Dolly,
Well Hello, 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...
Dolly:
Here's my hat fellas
I'm stayin' where I'm at, fellas
Waiters:
Promise you'll never go away again
Dolly:
I went away from the lights of fourteenth 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
Waiters:
