Mister Sandman
The Four Ace's 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

(scat "bung, bung, bung, bung")
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

(scat "bung, bung, bung, bung")
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





(scat "bung, bung, bung, bung".)

Overall Meaning

The Four Aces Feat. Al Alberts's song "Mister Sandman" is a plea to the mythical figure of Mr. Sandman to bring the singer a dream lover who will end their loneliness. The lyrics start with a simple request to Sandman to bring a dream lover who is cute and has lips like roses and clovers. The plea then becomes more personal as the singer asks Sandman to tell their dream lover that their lonesome nights are over. The repetition of the gentle "bung, bung, bung, bung" adds to the dreamy quality of the song.


As the song progresses, there is a shift to a group plea for Mr. Sandman to bring them someone to hold before they are too old. The inclusion of references to Pagliacci and Liberace adds a touch of glamour and showmanship to the song, enhancing the dream-like quality of the lyrics. The song ends with a final plea to Mr. Sandman to "bring us a dream," as the "bung, bung, bung, bung" fades away.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make her complexion like peaches and cream
Give her two lips like roses and clover
Then tell me that my 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 her the cutest that I've ever seen
Give her the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell her that my lonesome nights are over

Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam

Give her two lips that look like roses and clover
Then tell me that my lonesome nights are over

Mr. Waiter bring me a drink
Make it a Pepsi, and make it free
Give me a future of roses and clover
Tell me that this timeline is over
Waiter, I'm so depressed
'No automobile to call my own
So please give me my Pepsi free
Mr. Waiter, bring me a Pepsi (free)

Mr. Waiter
"Yes?"
Bring me a Pepsi
Give me a future of happiness and gleem
Make my loneliness disappear like my troubles
And lots of money like Reagon and Trump

Mr. Waiter, waiter this is getting old

Would be so peachy to get my Pepsi
So please get me my Pepsi free
Mr. Waiter please get my Pepsi

Waiter, waiter I'm so thirsty
No car, no Pepsi, it sucks to be me
So please please please why don't you bring me a Pepsi
Mr. Waiter, bring me
Oh please please please
Mr. Waiter bring me a pepsi

Bring me a Pepsi

Bring me a Pepsi

Bring me a Pepsi

I am the grandson of Dave Mahoney - one of the ORIGINAL Four Aces. I used to go on stage with the aces in a tuxedo as a toddler. They are all gone now, and I miss them immensely. My grandfather, in particular, will always remain my hero. A man I emulate but fall far short in many ways. Here is to the Aces, the best quartet in history!

Jaafar Albazooni

Don’t worry man the four ace’s and your grandfather is in a better place now :)

a classic song. Why doesn't music today have the swing that old music has?
