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
At twilights hush
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-bye my baby
Don't you cry my baby
Sleepy time is nigh
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby

Won't you play the music
So the cradle can rock (Goodnight,)
To a lullaby in ragtime (time to call it a day)
Sleepy hands are creeping (Sleep tight)
Play a lullaby in ragtime (dream your troubles away)
You can tell the sandman is on his way (Goodnight, in spite of any sorrow)
By the way that they play (There's a brand new day)
As still as the trill of a thrush
At twilights hush (on it's way tomorrow)
So you can hear the rhythm of the ripples
On the side of the boat (Someday)
As you sail away to dreamland (all your dreams will come true)
High above the moon (Someway)
You hear a silvery note
As the sandman takes your hand (for me and you)
So rock-a-bye my baby (So close your eyes)
Don't you cry my baby (and dream of it my darling)
Sleepy time is nigh (Till then goodnight)
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby (goodnight, sleep tight)
