Mister Sandman:The Chordettes.
#1 in 1954.
[Intro]
(Bom-bom-bom...)
[Verse 1]
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.
Sandman, I m so alone.
Don t have nobody to call my own.
Please turn on your magic beam,
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
[Interlude]
(bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-
bom-bom-bom.)
(bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-
bom-bom-bom.)
[Verse 2]
Mr. 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 lonely nights are over.
Sandman, I m so alone.
Don t have nobody to call my own.
Please turn on your magic beam..
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream..
[Interlude]
(bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-
bom-bom-bom.)
(bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-
bom-bom-bom.)
[Verse 3]
Mr. Sandman 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 Liber..ace.
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold,
would be so peachy before we re too old.
So please turn on your magic beam.
Mr. Sandman, bring us, please, please, please..
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream.
