"Mr Sandman" was not sung by the Andrews Sisters in WW2, because
it was written by Pat Ballard in 1954. It was first recorded by the
Chordettes. The lyrics are: (scat “bung, bung, bung,
bung..........) 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….)
