In old Alabamy

There's Daddy and Mammy

There's Ephraim and Sammy

On a moonlight night

You can find them all

While they are waitin'

The banjos are syncopatin'

Oh, what's that they're sayin'?

Oh, what's that they're sayin'?

While they keep playin'

And hummin' and swayin'

It's the good ship Robert E. Lee

That's here to carry the cotton away

Watch them shufflin' along

See them shufflin' along

Go take your best gal

Your real pal

Go down on the levee

I said to the levee

And we'll join that shufflin' throng

Hear that music and song

It's simply great, mate

Waitin' on the levee

Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee!

We're babes on Broadway

We're goin' places

When our new faces appear

It's a wonderful street

For babes like us to be on

We're here because

We want our names in neon

We left Topeka

We left Eureka

And came to seek a career

Oh, we're milkin' applause

Instead of milkin' a cow

'Cause we're babes on Broadway now!
