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!
