Lyrics[]

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 your 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!
