Dolly:
Hello, Rudy
Well, Hello Harry
It's so nice to be back home where I belong.
You are looking sweel, 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 playing
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:
