Now comes the hard part, baby...

...do you suppose you can sing "Five Pennies" while Pops and I sing something else?

- Girl: Sure, I can sing as good as he can.

- Louis: And who can't?

    Good Night, Sleep Tight Medley
    Danny Kaye & Louis Armstrong

    Louis:
    Goodnight, time to call it a day
    Sleep tight, dream your troubles away
    Goodnight, in spite of any sorrow
    There's a brand new day on it's way tomorrow
    Someday, all your dreams will come true
    Someway, for me and you
    So close your eyes and dream of it my darling
    Till then goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight

    Louis repeats; Danny joins in with Lullabye in Ragtime:

    Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock
    To a lullbye in ragtime
    Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock
    Play a lullabye 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 rythym of the river on the side of the boat
    As you sail away to dreamland
    High above the moon you hear a silvery note
    As the sand man takes your hand
    So rock-a-bye my baby
    Don't you cry my baby
    Sleepy time is nigh
    Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullabye

    -Danny: Now comes the hard part, baby. Do you suppose you can sing "Five Pennies" while Pops and I sing something else?
    - Girl: Sure, I can sing as good as he can.
    - Louis: And who can't?

    Louis repeats Goodnight, Sleep Tight; Danny repeats Lullaby in Ragtime; Girl sings Five Pennies:

    This little penny is to wish on
    And make your wishes come true
    This little peeny is to dream on
    Dream of all you can do
    Thislittle is a dancing penny
    See how it glitters and it glows
    Bright as a whistle
    Light as a thistle
    Quick, quick as a wink
    Up on it's twinkling toes
    This little penny is to laugh on
    To see that tears never fall
    This this little penny
    Is the last little penny
    Most important of all
    For this penny is to love on
    And where love is, heaven is there
    So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
    You'll be a millionaire
    For this penny is to love on
    And where love is, heaven is there
    So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
    You'll be a millionaire

    Lovely - the music, the lighting, Danny and Louis. When I was little, I imagined that I could crawl into a film this lustrous and never return.
