Hello, Dolly!

Brenda Lee · Too Many Rivers [Decca] [1965]

(Jerry Herman)



Hello Dolly, I said, hello Dolly

It's so nice to have you back where you belong

Ah, you're looking swell, Dolly, we can tell, Dolly

You're still glowing, you're still growing, you're going strong.



We feel the room swaying for the band's playing

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So take her wrap fellas, find her an empty lap fellas

Dolly'll never go away again.



Hello Dolly, ah, hello Dolly

It's so nice to have you back where you belong

Ah, you're looking swell honey and we can tell

You're glowing, you're growing, ah, you're going strong.



We feel the room swaying while the band's playing

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So golly gee, fellas, find her a vacant knee, fellas

Dolly'll never go away again.



We feel the room swaying and we hear that band a playing

One of your old favorite songs from way back when

So golly gee, fellas, find that girl a knee, fellas

Dolly never go away, Lord, don't go away

Dolly never go away again.



Yeah, Dolly never go away, Dolly, please don't go away

Dolly, never go away again

Why don't you stick around with us, Dolly?...
