Song lyrics to Milkman Keep Those Bottles Quiet, written by Don Raye and Gene de Paul, performed by Nancy Walker and Ben Blue in Broadway Rhythm
Milkman keep those bottles quiet
Can’t use that jive on my milk diet
So milkman keep those bottles quiet
Been jumpin’ on the swing shift, all night
Turnin’ out my quota, all right
Now I’m beat right down to the sod
Gotta catch myself some righteous nod
Milkman stop that grade A riot
Cut out if you can’t lullaby it
Oh, milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet
Been knocking out a fast tank, all day
Working on a bomber, okay
Boy you blast my wig with those clinks
And I got to catch my forty winks
So milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet
Now noise of the riveter rocks, don’t mind it
Cause the man with the whiskers has a lot behind it
But I can’t keep punchin’ with the victory crew,
When you’re making me punchy with that bottled moo
I want to give my all if I’m gonna give it
But I gotta get my shuteye if I’m gonna rivet
So bail out, bud, with that milk barrage
Cause it’s unpatriotic, it’s sabotage
Been knocking out a fast tank, all day
Working on a bomber, okay
Boy, you blast my wig with those clinks
And I got to catch my forty winks
So milkman, keep those bottles quiet
Oooo, milkman, keep those bottles quiet
Oooo, milkman, keep those bottles quiet
Quiet!
