Message:

Update Hello Dolly lyrics.

This updates the Hello Dolly plugin to remove lines which could be objectionable when shown in the admin out of context, and brings the lyrics more in line with Louis Armstrong's recording.

Props sebastienthivinfocom, birgire, audrasjb, joemcgill.
Fixes #43555.

 Description: This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation summed up in two words sung most famously by Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly. When activated you will randomly see a lyric from <cite>Hello, Dolly</cite> in the upper right of your admin screen on every page.
