Mister Sandman
The Four Aces Feat. Al Alberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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".)
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.

I spoke to Lou SIlvestri over the phone about 3 months ago? Very nice person to speak to. He wasn't shy to offer me an autograph from him. If you look over the internet for a bit, you'll sure be able to find his number somewhere. (WhitePages LOL)
