Lullabye in Ragtime

Won't you play the music
So the cradle can rock
To a lullabye in ragtime
Sleepy hands are creeping
To the end of the clock
Play a lullabye 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 lullabye

From "Five Little Pennies" with Danny Kaye, Louis Armstrong, and Barbara Bel Geddes
