I said hello, dolly, this Louis, dolly.
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
You're lookin' swell, dolly. I can tell, dolly,
you're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong.
I feel that room swayin', while the band's playin'
one of your old favourite songs from way back when.
So, take the wrap, fellas, find her an empty lap, fellas.
Dolly' you'll never go away again.
(instrumental)
I feel the room swayin'...'cause the band's playin',
one of your old favourite songs from way back when.
So, golly, gee, fellas, find her an empty knee, fellas.
Dolly you'll never go away, please don't ever go away,
Dolly you'll never go away again.
