The rumble of a subway train,     the rattle of the tax - is,

When a Broadway baby says, "Good night," 

G7         Dm7    G7   C      
It's early in the morning;

C         A7      Dm7              Fdim   G7       C7
Manhatten babies don't sleep tight      until the dawn.

F    Gdim   F  C9  F - F7  Bb - Bb9   F         C9     F    C7

F                Gm7         D7            Gm7        C9   F
You rockaby your baby 'round     'til ev'rything goes ha - zy.
