Bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bum, bum, bum, bum)
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen (bum, bum, bum, bum)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bum, bum, bum, bum)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I’m so alone (bum, bum, bum, bum)
Don’t have nobody to call my own (bum, bum, bum, bum)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Key change to ???

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

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

Funny 2 stage key change to ???

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

Instrumental x 2 verses

Mr. Sandman (yes) 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 (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 me a dream

Originally recorded by The Chordettes

Notice how they recover from a few minor hiccups at the start. Feedback from an amp, which they ad lib as a tuning cue, and the drummer I don’t think was supposed to start. He didn’t keep the right tempo. Anyway good recovery! A good lesson in sticking to the arrangement you rehearsed and not being put off by external happenings!
