Lyrics

I'm sorry, show business isn't for me
 I'm going back to Allentown!
 What was that word you just said?
 "Allentown"?
 I'm offering you a chance to star in the biggest musical Broadway's seen in 20 years
 And you say "Allentown"?
 Come on along and listen to
 The lullaby of Broadway
 The hip hooray and ballyhoo
 The lullaby of Broadway
 The rumble of a subway train
 The rattle of the taxis
 The daffodils who entertain
 At Angelo's and Maxi'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, the 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 hidee hi and boopa doo
 The lullaby of Broadway
 The band begins to go to town
 And everyone goes crazy
 You rock-a-bye your baby round
 'Til everything 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, the 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
 I'll do it!
 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!
