Dolly
Farewell to Dolly: Unveiling the Bitter Sweetness of Goodbyes
Lyrics
Hello Dolly
Greeting to Dolly
Yes, hello Dolly
Repeating the greeting to Dolly
Now I'm mighty glad your back,
Expressing happiness about Dolly's return
Where you belong,
Emphasizing Dolly's place of belonging
Dolly,
Calling Dolly's name
Here's a song, Dolly
Introducing a song for Dolly
But if it were up to me I'd send you home
Expressing a desire to send Dolly home
Well it gets worse, Dolly
Indicating worsening feelings towards Dolly
Anther verse, Dolly
Introducing another negative verse about Dolly
Well how many more bad things can I say about you, Dolly
Questioning how many more negative things can be said about Dolly
Get a clue, Dolly
Advising Dolly to understand the situation
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Singing a nonsensical refrain
Well the holidays days were mighty good to you
Commenting on the positive impact of the holidays on Dolly
And you got everything that you wanted to
Observing that Dolly received everything she wanted
And I really hope to God all of your wishes come true
Expressing hope for Dolly's wishes but acknowledging the end of the relationship
'Cause it's over between me and you
Declaring the end of the relationship between the singer and Dolly
So the next time your around, stay
Advising Dolly to stay during her next visit
Next time your around, stay
Repeating the advice for Dolly to stay
Next time your around, stay away
Repeating the advice for Dolly to stay away
Dolly stay away
Explicitly telling Dolly to stay away
Dolly stay away
Reiterating the instruction for Dolly to stay away
Well hello Dolly
Repeating the initial greeting to Dolly
Yes hello Dolly
Repeating the greeting to Dolly
You know I' ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Expressing extreme joy about Dolly's return
Really really glad your back where you belong
Repeating happiness about Dolly being back in her place of belonging
But you know, if it were up to me I'd send you straight to
Expressing a desire to send Dolly straight to a destination
Holidays were good to you
Recalling the positive impact of holidays on Dolly
And you got everything that you wanted to
Repeating that Dolly got everything she desired
And now I really hope to God all of your wishes come true
Reiterating hope for Dolly's wishes but acknowledging the end of the relationship
'Cause it's over between me and you
Confirming the conclusion of the relationship between the singer and Dolly
I hope all that my wishes come true
Expressing hope for the fulfillment of the singer's wishes
Stare at the cracks, when there's nothin' to do
Suggesting staring at cracks when there's nothing to do
So the next time your around, stay
Advising Dolly to stay during her next visit
Next time your around, stay
Repeating the advice for Dolly to stay
Next time your around, stay away
Repeating the advice for Dolly to stay away
Dolly stay away
Explicitly telling Dolly to stay away
Dolly stay away
Reiterating the instruction for Dolly to stay away
Dolly stay away
Final repetition of the instruction for Dolly to stay away
YEAH - YEAH - YEAH
Expressing emphasis or affirmation with "Yeah"
