Lullaby In Ragtime

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock
To a lullaby in ragtime
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock
Play a lullaby 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 in a twilight 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-by, my baby
Don't you cry, my baby
Sleepy-time is nigh
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock (Goodnight)
To a lullaby in ragtime (Time to call it a day)
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock (Sleep tight)
Play a lullaby in ragtime (Drеam your troubles away)
You can tell the sandman is on his way (Goodnight)
By thе way that they play (In spite of any sorrows)
As still as the trill of a thrush in a twilight hush
(There's a brand new day on it's way tomorrow)

So you can hear the rhythm of the ripples (Some day)
On the side of the boat
As you sail away to dreamland (All your dreams will come true)
High above the moon you hear a silvery note (Some way)
As the sandman takes your hand (For me and you)
So rock-a-by, my baby (So close your eyes)
Don't you cry, my baby
Sleepy-time is nigh (And dream of me, my darling)
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby
('Til then, goodnight
Goodnight, Sleep tight)
