The Blue Bells Of Broadway (Are Ringing Tonight)

Blue Bells of Broadway - Doris Day

The bagpipes of Scotland are hushed in the glen

For Sandy mactavish will nae come home again

He's far from the bluebells that once bloomed so bright

But the blue bells of Broadway are ringing tonight

He sits on the bandstand with knees that are bare

The cats crowd around him and hoot mom how they stare

For Sandy in kilts is a braw bonny sight

And the blue bells of Broadway are ringing tonight

He plays a boogie woogie bagpipe

So cool it's bound to hurt

Each nervous fan yells

Dig that man in the crazy red skirt

The banks of loch lomond are lonely today

For Sandy mactavish three thousand miles away

He's far from the heather that once bloomed so bright

But the blue bells of Broadway are ringing tonight

Oh where tell me where has my hi eland laddie gone

Oh where tell me where has my hi eland laddie gone

He's gone to join a jazz band on fifty second street

And it's there you can hear him introduce that bagpipe beat

He wears a real gone tam o' shanter and tassels on his socks

And when he blows the rhythm grows' til the joint really rocks

He squeezes the goatskin and out comes the jive

For Sandy's the hit of the dipsy doodle five

Since he's blowin' with' em the rhythm is right

And the blue bells of Broadway are ringin'

The blue bells are ringin' with the bagpipe beat

On Broadway on Broadway tonight
