Mister Sandman
Pomplamoose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
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.

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 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.

Mr. Sandman (male voice: "Yesss?") 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

Mr Sandman, someone to hold (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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pomplamoose's "Mister Sandman" embody the dreams and desires of an individual who is lonely and yearning for company. The opening lines set the stage for the song, with the singer calling on the Sandman to bring them a dream. They ask for someone who is cute, with beautiful lips made of roses and clover, and most importantly, someone to ease their lonesome nights. The singer's loneliness is further reiterated in the second stanza where they mention their own lack of companionship.


The following verse shifts focus to a hypothetical couple or duo, echoing the first speaker's desires by asking the Sandman to bring them someone with eyes that have a "come-hither" gleam, a lonely heart, and wavy hair. The harmonized male and female voices add a layer of complexity to the song, as both call on the Sandman to bring them partners to hold and share their lives with before they get too old.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of loneliness and longing, with both individual and collective pleas for companionship. The use of the Sandman as a metaphor further emphasizes the dreamlike quality of these desires.
