MISTER SANDMAN (MR. SANDMAN)
(Pat Ballard)
THE CHORDETTES (CADENCE 1247, 1954)

(Bum, bum, bum, bum, etc.)

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
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

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
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

Mister Sandman (yes?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mister Sandman, someone to hold (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
