Go to sleep, here comes the Sandman
Just close your tired eyes, those beautiful eyes
He’s that grand old slumber land man
Who writes the lullabies, why he does
Here’s a goodnight kiss from Daddy
And here’s a hug, so tight,  
(I’d better not grab you too tight)
Go to sleep here comes the Sandman
Just to say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Transcribed from John Wright’s 78 RPM Record Collection



(As sung by Anne Lenner W/ Carroll Gibbons & The Savoy Hotel Orpheans)

Go to sleep here comes the Sandman
Just close your tired eyes
He’s that grand old slumber land man
Who writes your lullabies
Here’s a goodnight kiss from Mummy
And here’s a hug, so tight
Go to sleep here comes the Sandman
Just to say Goodnight.
