Danny Kaye - Lullaby in Ragtime lyrics

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock, To a lullaby in ragtime. Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock, Play a lullaby in ragtime. You can tell the sandman is on his way, By the way, That they play, As still, as the trill, of a thrush, in a twilight high. So you can hear the Rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat, As you sail away to dreamland. High above the moon you hear a silvery note, As the sandman takes your hand. So rock-a-by my baby, Don't you cry my baby, Sleepy-time is nigh. Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby, So rock-a-by my baby, Don't you cry my baby, Sleepy-time is nigh. Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,
