Chorus 1:

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 daffodils 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;
Good-night baby,
Good-night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day, hey!

Chorus 2:

Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway,
The hi-de-di 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
Till 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;
Good-night baby,
Good-night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day!
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.
