Lullaby Of Broadway
Doris Day & Harry James Lyrics

Come on along and listen to
Join me on this journey and pay close attention to

The lullaby of Broadway
The soothing yet exciting sounds and rhythms of Broadway

The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The crowd's joyous cheers and attention-grabbing antics

The lullaby of Broadway
Once again, the comforting and mesmerizing sounds of Broadway

The rumble of a subway train
The deep vibration of the train as it rushes through the underground tunnels

The rattle of the taxis
The sound of the many taxis racing through the busy streets

The daffodils who entertain
The street performers who bring joy and entertainment to all who pass by

At Angelo's and Maxi's
At the popular restaurants and hotspots on this bustling street

When a Broadway baby says good night
At the end of the night when the performers bid farewell

It's early in the morning
Despite the late hour, it's actually very early in the morning

Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
The city that never sleeps extends to the youngest residents as well

Until the dawn
Sleep doesn't come until the sun begins to rise

Good night, baby
A sweet farewell to those heading home for the night

Good night, the milkman's on his way
Even as the night ends, the day begins for others, like the milkman making deliveries

Sleep tight, baby
Sweet dreams await for those who finally get to rest

Sleep tight, let's call it a day
With the night over, it's time to end the day and rest your body

The band begins to go to town
The energetic band starts to play, getting everyone excited

And everyone goes crazy
The crowd becomes wild and ecstatic with the music

You rock a bye your baby round
To calm a baby, one might rock them back and forth

'Til everything gets hazy
The movement becomes so repetitive that it starts to blur your surroundings

Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that
To soothe the baby, one might promise them gifts and treats

You hear a daddy saying
A loving father whispers sweet nothings to his baby, lulling them to sleep

And baby goes home to her flat
Finally, the baby is brought home to their cozy apartment

To sleep all day
Even though it's daytime, the baby will sleep soundly until nightfall

Listen to the lullaby
Once again, take note of the gentle and captivating sounds of Broadway

Of old Broadway
The timeless allure of this iconic street and its many delights
