Lullaby of Broadway
Embrace the Night: Unveiling the Heartbeat of Broadway's Lullaby
Lyrics
Come on along and listen to
Come and join to hear
The lullaby of Broadway
The soothing song of comfort and reassurance associated with Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
Celebration and excitement
The lullaby of Broadway
The comforting and familiar melody of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The loud noise of a subway passing by
The rattle of the taxis
The sound of taxis moving on the streets
The daffodils who entertain
Performers, possibly chorus girls, at popular entertainment spots
At Angelo's and Maxi's
References to specific nightspots or restaurants
When a Broadway baby says good night
When a person associated with Broadway bids goodnight
It's early in the morning
The time mentioned is late at night or early morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Babies in Manhattan aren't accustomed to sleeping soundly
Until the dawn
They stay awake until the morning hours
Good night, baby
Bidding goodnight to the baby
Good night, the milkman's on his way
Indication that it's time for sleep as the milkman is coming
Sleep tight, baby
Wishing the baby a peaceful sleep
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Encouragement to end the day's activities and rest
Hey
Expressive interjection
The band begins to go to town
The orchestra begins playing energetically
And everyone goes crazy
A sense of excitement and enthusiasm among people
You rock a bye your baby round
Rocking a baby gently until surroundings become unclear or blurred
'Til everything gets hazy
A sense of haziness or disorientation due to the rocking motion
Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that
Promising to provide various things for the baby
You hear a daddy saying
A father figure making promises
And baby goes home to her flat
The baby returns home after the night's activities
To sleep all day
Sleeping during the day after a night of activity
Good night, baby
Repeating the bidding of goodnight to the baby
Good night, the milkman's on his way
Reiterating the arrival of the milkman as a signal for sleep
Sleep tight, baby
Encouraging the baby to sleep peacefully
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Encouraging the end of the day's activities and rest
Listen to the lullaby
Listening to the comforting melody associated with the old days of Broadway
Of old Broadway
Referring to the nostalgic and soothing feeling of the old Broadway
