Mr. Sandman
The Chordettes



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

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 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
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






In the aftermath of the Mr.Sandman sensation, The Chordettes
found themselves in the whirlpool of stardom. Nightclubs around
the country clamored for them. They perfumed on radio programs
(including Alan Freed's), entertained for President Eisenhower
along the way, and sustained their television presence with
Ed Sullivan, Gary Moore, and Robert Q. Lewis (on whose show they
became regulars).
