[Intro – cheerful barbershop harmonies] Ding-ding! Good morning! Fresh milk at your door! One for Mother, two for Jane, And three for those who won't complain! [Verse 1] I know your name, I know your street, I know the hour you go to sleep. I know your birthday, what you drink, And what you dream, or so I think! Mrs. Miller likes her cream, Little Tommy talks in dreams. Mr. Brown sleeps until ten, I won't disturb his rest again! [Chorus] The milkman knows your name! (Ba-doo, ba-doo!) And everybody's just the same! (Shoo-be-doo!) One for Mother, two for Jane, Three for those who won't complain! Fresh and wholesome, pure and white, Delivered while you sleep at night! So leave your little porch light on, I'll know if something's wrong! [Verse 2] On Monday I had forty-two, On Tuesday morning, forty-one. By Wednesday there were thirty-nine, But everybody's doing fine! Mrs. Green has gone away, Her bottles haven't moved since May. I took them back, I swept her floor, And put a ribbon on her door! [Chorus] The milkman knows your name! (Ba-doo, ba-doo!) And everybody's just the same! (Shoo-be-doo!) One for Mother, two for Jane, Three for those who won't complain! Fresh and wholesome, pure and white, Delivered while you sleep at night! No need to ask where people go, Your milkman always knows! [Instrumental – whistling and upright bass] [Bridge – soft, intimate falsetto] I know which windows open wide, I know which doors are locked inside. I know who cries and who pretends, And when a little friendship ends. [Spoken – brightly] Oh! Another cancellation? How very unfortunate! [Final Chorus – exuberant quartet] The milkman knows your name! (Ba-doo, ba-doo!) And everybody's just the same! (Shoo-be-doo!) One for Mother, two for Jane, And none for those who won't remain! Fresh and wholesome, pure and white, Everything will be all right! The street is quiet, the sky is blue, And now there's only you! [Outro – slowing, sweetly] Ding-ding! Good morning! Fresh milk at your door... [Whisper] You didn't order any? Well... I know what you need.
