Dolly:

Hello, rudy

Well, hello harry

It's so nice to be back home where i belong

You are looking swell, manny

I can tell, danny

You're still glowin', you're still crowin'

You're still goin' strong

I feel the room swayin'

For the band's playin'

One of my old fav'rite songs from 'way back when

So, bridge that gap, fellas

Find me an empty lap, fellas

Dolly'll never go away again



Waiters:
