Lullaby of Broadway
Winifred Shaw Lyrics

Come on along and listen to
Join us and hear

The lullaby of Broadway
The soothing sounds of the city that never sleeps

The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The excitement and hoopla

The lullaby of Broadway
The calming tune of the bustling boulevard

The rumble of a subway train
The vibrations of the underground transit system

The rattle of the taxis
The noisy cars transporting people around town

The daffodil who entertain
The performers at the popular Angelo's and Maxi's restaurants

At Angelo's and Maxi's
At the renowned dining establishments

When a Broadway baby says good night
When one of the performers finishes their show and bids farewell

It's early in the morning
It's actually sunrise

Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn
The people of New York stay up late into the night

Good night, baby
Sweet dreams, little one

Good night, milkman's on his way
A traditional phrase to signal bedtime as the milkman begins his deliveries

Sleep tight, baby
Rest well, dear child

Sleep tight, let's call it a day
It's time to rest and end the day

Hey!
An exclamation of enthusiasm

Come on along and you can listen to
Join us and hear

A baby cry the lullaby of ole' Broadway
Even the youngest ones can appreciate the calming sounds of the city

The jump and jivin' and the swingin' roo
The lively music and dancing of the nightclubs

The lullaby of Broadway
The gentle song of the bustling street

The band begins to jam a tune
The musicians start to play a lively melody

And everyone goes crazy
The crowd gets excited and energetic

You rock-a-bye your baby soon
You can put the little one to sleep to the music

The atmosphere gets hazy
The ambiance gets a little foggy and dreamlike

Hush I'll buy you this and that,
A fatherly figure quiets the baby and promises to provide

You hear a daddy saying
You can hear the paternal voice soothing the child

And baby goes home to her flat
The little one returns to her apartment

To sleep all day
To rest until evening

Sleep tight, my baby
Rest well, dear child

Get a lot of sleep as time goes by
To make sure to rest well as time passes

Good night, my baby
Sweet dreams, dear child

Have a lot of fun in the night time
Enjoy the excitement and liveliness of the evening

Get a lot of sleep in the day time
Make sure to rest well during daytime hours

Let's call it a day
Time to rest, relax and end the day

Good night, good night
A double farewell or emphasis

Milkman's on his way
A traditional signal that bedtime is approaching
