Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Make him the cutest that I've ever seen

Give him two lips like roses and clover

Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

[Verse 2]

Sandman, I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

[Verse 3]

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum

[Verse 4]

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Make him the cutest that I've ever seen

Give him the word that I'm not a rover

Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

[Verse 5]

Sandman, I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

[Verse 6]

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum

Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum

[Verse 7]

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither dream

Give a lonely heart like Pagliacci

And lots of wavy hair like Liberace

[Verse 8]

Mister Sandman, someone to hold

Would be so peachy before we're too old

So please turn on your magic beam

Mister Sandman, bring us, please, please, please

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
