Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 two lips like roses and clover
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 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, 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
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
