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
(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Don't have nobody to
call my own (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Please turn on your
magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a
dream.
Mr. 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"
is a popular song written by Pat Ballard and published in 1954. It was first
recorded in May of that year by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra and later that
year by The Chordettes and the Four Aces. The song's lyrics convey a request to
"Mr. Sandman" to "bring me a dream" – the traditional
association of the folkloric figure (but in this context the meaning of dream
is more akin to 'dreamboat'). The pronoun used to refer to the desired dream is
often changed depending on the sex of the singer or group performing the song,
as the original sheet music publication, which includes male and female
versions of the lyrics, intended.
Emmylou Harris's recording of the song was a hit in multiple countries in 1981. Other versions of the song have been produced by Chet Atkins (1954) and Bert Kaempfert (1968).
