Five Pennies movie - Lullaby in Ragtime lyrics

rate me

Song by Walter Bobbie<br /><br>

Won't you play the music<br>

So the cradle can rock<br>

To a lullabye in ragtime<br>

Sleepy hands are creeping<br>

To the end of the clock<br>

Play a lullabye in ragtime<br>

You can tell the sandman is on his way<br>

By the way that they play<br>

As still as the trill of a thrush<br>

At twilights hush<br>

So you can hear the rhythm of the ripples<br>

On the side of the boat<br>

As you sail away to dreamland<br>

High above the moon<br>

You hear a silvery note<br>

As the sandman takes your hand<br>

So rock-a-bye my baby<br>

Don't you cry my baby<br>

Sleepy time is nigh<br>

Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullabye<br>

<br>
