Mr Sandman
Got a good plan
It's the best plan
Don't keep me awake tonight
Mr Sandman
Got a better plan
You're the best man
To let me sleep tonight
Mr Sandman
With your sandbag
It's a big bag
Dust my bed tonight yeah
Mr Sandman
I'm a big fan
Number one fan
Let me crash tonight
Bridge ~
Diddy ah diddy ah diddy ah
Eyes on fire
Diddy ah diddy ah diddy ah
Red eyes tight
Diddy ah diddy ah diddy ah
Hell I'm wired
Diddy ah diddy ah diddy ah
Oh God it's morning light
Chorus ~
Hey nightmare
You might scare
I don't care
When I'm there
You make the demons in my dreams seem fair
It's a real hard yakka
In a dreamland
It's a clean land
It's the best land
I'm going tonight
In a dreamworld
Big, tin world
It's a mean world
But I'm staying tonight
Bridge
Hey nightmare
You might scare
I don't care
When I'm there
You make the demons in my dreams seem fair ~ x 2
It's a real hard yakka
Got the pilot with the pistol
Got the gun
Took a rifle to the market
Having fun
Hey nightmare
You might scare
I don't care
When I'm there
You make the demons in my dreams seem fair ~ x 2
