42nd Street Soundtrack Lullaby Of Broadway Lyrics

Lullaby Of Broadway Lyrics

Peggy:

 [Spoken]

 I'm sorry show business isn't for me. I'm goin' back to Allentown!

 

 Julian:

 What was the word you've just said, Allentown?

 I'm offering you a chance to star in biggest musical

 Broadway's seen in twenty years and you say: "Allentown?"

 

 [Singing]

 Come on along and listen to 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The hip hooray and bally hoo, 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The rumble of the subway train,

 The rattle of the taxis.

 The daffy-dills 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,

 Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.

 

 Ensemble:

 Come on along and listen to 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The hidee hi and boopa 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 sayin'.

 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.

 

 Come on along and listen to 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The hip hooray and bally hoo, 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The rumble of the subway train,

 The rattle of the taxis.

 The daffy-dills who entertain

 Until the dawn:

 Good night, baby,

 Good night, milkman's on his way.

 

 Peggy:

 [Spoken]

 I'll do it!

 

 Ensemble:

 [Cheers!]

 

 [Singing]

 Come on along-

 Come on along and listen to 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The hidee hi and boopa doo, 

 The lullaby of Broadway.

 The band begins to go to town,

 And ev'ryone goes crazy.

 You rock-a-bye your baby 'round 

 And sleep all day!

 Listen to the lullaby of 

 Old Broadway!
