Hello Dolly, well hello Dolly,
|
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
|
You're looking swell, Dolly, we can tell, Dolly,
|
You're still glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong.
|
We feel the room swaying 'cause the band's playing
|
One of your old favorite songs from way back when,
|
Take a rap, fellows, find her an empty lap, fellows,
|
Dolly'll never go away, Dolly'll never go away...
|

[instrumental by Louie Armstrong playing his saxophone]

|
Hello Sax, this is Francis, Louie,
|
It's so nice to see you back where you belong,
|
You're back on top, Louie, never stop, Louie,
|
You're still singing, you're still swinging, you're still going strong,
|
You get the room swaying when you start in playing
|
One of your great songs, your songs from way back when,
|
Blow your horn, Louie, sing up a great big song, Louie,
|
Promise you won't go away, promise you won't go away,
|
Promise you won't go away again.
|
|
[Louie Armstrong:]
|
Oh yeah!
