Does Ol' Broadway Ever Sleep

(album: Do The Twist - 1962)

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 dancing merrily
One thought, one thought keeps haunting me

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
Or does it lie awake just counting sheep
Oh, does ol' Broadway ever sleep

Goodnight folks, I'm going to bed
