Lullaby of Broadway

Written by: Harry Warren / Al Dubin

 

Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip-hooray and ballyhoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of the subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffydills who entertain
At Angelo’s and Maxi’s

When a Broadway baby says goodnight
It’s early in the morning
Manhattan babies don’t sleep tight
Until the dawn

Mm, goodnight Baby
Goodnight
The milkman’s on his way
Sleep tight Baby
Sleep tight
Let’s call it a day
Hey

The band begins to go to town
And everything’s gettin crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round
Til everything gets hazy
Hush a-bye
I’ll buy you this and that
You hear her daddy sayin’
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day

So goodnight
Mm, baby
Goodnight
The milkman’s on his way
Sleep tight
Baby
Sleep tight
Let’s call it a day

Hey listen to
The lullaby of old
Broadway
Swingin’ down Broadway
Mmm, Broadway yeah
