Does Ol' Broadway Ever Sleep

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, 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 to do the twist
From the peppermint crowds, to high society
But when Broadway's, dancing' merrily
One thought, one thought, keeps hauntin' 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 countin' sheep?
Oh, does ol' Broadway ever sleep?
Goodnight folks, I'm goin' to bed
