Horace:
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
Dolly:
Here's my hat, horace!
I'm staying where i'm at, horace!
Dolly will never go away...
Horace:
Wonderful woman!
Both:
Again. . .
Townspeople:
Put on you sunday clothes
When you feel dawn 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!
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!
Cornelius:
I held her
For an instant
But my arms felt sure and strong
All:
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long...
Men:
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!
All:
Well, well, hello, dolly!
Well, hello, dolly!
It' 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'
For the band's playin'
One of your old favorite songs
From way back when
Dolly
Wow, wow, wow, fellas
Look at the old girl now, fellas!
Chorus
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Dolly, you'll never go away
Again!
Hello dolly, 1969
