Sung by Carol Channing; from Hello Dolly! (O.B.C.)
Dolly:
Hello, Harry
Well, Hello Louie
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You're looking swell, Manny
I can tell, Danny
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
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
Waiters:
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.
We feel the room swayin'
For the band's playin'
One of your old fav'rite songs from 'way back when
Dolly
So 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 l4th Street
Tomorrow will be brighter than the good old days
Waiters:
Those good old days
Hello, Well Hello Dolly
Well hello, hey look there's Dolly
Dolly:
Glad to see you Hank, let's thank my lucky star
Waiters:
Your lucky star
Dolly:
You're lookin' great, Stanley
Lose some weight, Stanley?
Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and over par
Waiters:
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you still get glances from us handsome men
So...
Dolly:
Golly gee, fellas
Find me a vacant knee, fellas
Waiters:
Dolly'll never go away again
(A DANCE follows Dolly and the waiters)
Waiters:
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
I hear the ice tinkle
See the lights twinkle
And you still get glances from us handsome men
So...
Dolly:
Wow wow wow, fellas
Waiters:
Hey, Yeh!
Dolly:
Look at the old girl now, fellas
Waiters:
Wow!
All:
Dolly'll never go away again.
