I don't remember the lyrics, but I remember a trio version from the early
80s by (I believe) Emmy Lou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Rhondstadt.
But I also know the song is older than that -- maybe the Lennon Sisters?
Hey --- I'm not that old!

Neither am I, but most of the music I listen to is. Yes, the Andrews
Sisters did it (good call!) but so did a lot of other groups - I like
the Mills Brothers' recording too (changing the description of the
requested dream to that of a woman). But the version everyone knows
is by the Chordettes, the one with a deep-voiced Sandman answering
"Yes?" in the middle of one of the choruses.

Fer cryin' out loud, all I can think of right now are the altered
Mills Brothers lyrics; I can't provide the Chordettes' version. What
the heck use am I?

Hi, It's me again

For those interested, I post the lyrics I just got from "Radio Frontera"
and if someone has it I would be absolutely happy to get the music in any
form. the voices are too difficult to separate.

thank again.


Mr. Sandman (1954/written by Pat Ballard)

Mister 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.
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 a rover,
And tell him that his lonesome nights are over.

Mister Sandman, bring me 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 me,
Please, please, please
Mister Sandman bring me a dream.
