does ol' broadway ever sleep

does ol' broadway ever sleep

does ol' broadway ever sleep

now i have seen ol' broadway blink its eyes

but i've never seen it slumber deep

i've heard ol' broadway just laugh out loud

and i've heard it softly weep

but no one answers when i ask

does ol' broadway ever sleep

they did the charleston a long time ago

and ol' broadway loved it so

then the lindy came upon the scene

and broadway hollered hey go man go

now ol' broadway just do the twist

from the peppermint crowds to high society

but when broadway's dancin' merrily

one thought

one thought keeps hauntin' me

does ol' broadway ever sleep

does ol' broadway ever sleep

now i have seen ol' broadway blink its eyes

but i've never seen it slumber deep

i've heard ol' broadway just laugh out loud

and i've heard it softly weep

but no one answers when i ask

does ol' broadway ever sleep

or does it lie awake just countin' sheep

oh

does ol' broadway ever sleep

goodnight folks

i'm goin' to bed
