Classic Poem

VERSE 1

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 daffydils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxie's.
When a Broadway baby says " Good night, "
It's early in the morning.
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn:

REFRAIN

Good night,
Baby,
Good night,
Milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight,
Baby,
Sleep tight,
Let's call it a day,
Hey! Let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby
Of old Broadway.

VERSE 2

Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway.
The hi-dee-hi and boop-a-doo,
The lullaby of Broadway.
The band begins to go to town,
And ev'ryone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'Til ev'rything 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:

REPEAT REFRAIN
