Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh
Mr. 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]
Mr. Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
So, please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Bring me a dream
[Verse 3]
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
(Yes?)
Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
(Aww)
And lots of wavy hair like, hmm, Liberace
[Verse 4]
Mr. Sandman, Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before I'm too old
So, please turn on your magic beam
(Turn on your magic beam)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Bring me a dream
[Verse 5]
Hey, Sandman, please bring me a dream
Make him just the cutest guy that I have ever seen
Hey, Sandman, spread the word that I am not over
Then tell him I love him and his lonesome nights are over
[Verse 6]
Sandman, Sandman, I am so alone
Don't have nobody here that I can call my own
So, please, please, please
Why don't you turn on your magic beam?
Mr. Sandman, bring us
Oh, please, please, please
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
Bring me a dream
Bring me a dream
Bring us a dream
