Lullaby of Broadway Lyrics


Come on along and listen to
The Lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and bally hoo
The Lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The rattle of a taxi
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
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day, hey
Come on along, listen to
The Lullaby of Broadway

The Copacabana, Birdland to
The Lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town
And everything gets hazy
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
To Ellington or Basie
When a Broadway baby says good night
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
But listen to the Lullaby of Old Broadway
Come on along and be a Broadway
Broadway
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
But listen to the Lullaby of Old Broadway

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904– April 26, 1984) was a jazz pianist, organist, composer, and bandleader. As a pianist, he had a distinctive and influential style (the song title "Splanky" is an onomatopoetic reference to the sound of his playing), equally at home in the barrelhouse and the concert hall. Willie "The Lion" Smith, James P. Johnson, and Fats Waller were among his influences.
