From the film The Gold Diggers of 1935; used in the show 42nd Street.
Julian:
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 daffydils 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, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway.
Billy: Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway,
Annie: The hi-dee-hi and whoop-de-doo,
Both: the lullaby of Broadway,
Small ensemble: The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy,
You rock-a-bye your baby round, till everything gets hazy,
Add Julian:
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:
Men: Good night, baby,
Good night,
Women: Milkman's on his way
Men: Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight,
Julian: Let's call it a day - - -
Ensemble: Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway

Maggie:
Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo, the lullaby of Broadway
Abner: The rumble of a subway train, the rattle of the taxis
Ensemble: The daffydils who entertain until the dawn:
(dance)
All:
Come along,
Come on along and listen to, the lullaby of Broadway
The hi-dee-hi and whoop-de-doo, the lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town, and everyone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round, and sleep all day:
Julian: Listen to the lullaby of
Chorus: old Broadway!
