[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!
