Come on along and listen to

The lullaby of Broadway

The hip hooray and ballyhoo

The lullaby of Broadway

The rumble of a subway train

The rattle of the taxis

The daffodils who entertain

At Angelo's and Maxi's

When a Broadway baby says good night

It's early in the morning

Manhattan babies don't sleep tight

Until the dawn

Good night, baby

Good night, 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 everyone goes crazy

You rock-a-bye your baby round

'Til everything gets hazy

Hush-a-bye, I'll buy you this and that

You hear a daddy saying

And baby goes home to her flat

To sleep all day

Good night, baby

Good night, the milkman's on his way

Sleep tight, baby

Sleep tight, let's call it a day

Listen to the lullaby

Of old... Broad...way...
