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... Or does it lie awake just countin' sheep Oh does ol' Broadway ever sleep Goodnight folks I'm goin' to bed
