Don't Keep The Sandman Waiting

There's a very old man with wings so grand

He's only 5 inches high

And he carries a sack on his old bent back

This amazing old man can fly

In his sack on his back is golden sand

You can see him digging deep

As he sprinkles the sand from his little fat hand

To help boys and girls to sleep

So don't keep the sandman waiting

He's really in such a state

There's a boy in france putting on his pants

Because he thinks the sandman is late

Now don't keep the sandman waiting

Did i hear his wings just buzz?

Or was someone snoring, the sand is pouring

He's very good at what he does

There's many boys and girls

It's a great big world

And the sandman he's just one

And we've all got to sleep, so we musn't keep

His work from being done

He'd never say it to you, but its very true

You'll be sleeping sooner or later

He should leave very soon

He's gotta catch the moon

Before it crosses the equator

So don't keep the sandman waiting

He's got promises to keep

There's a girl in russia

Just finished her supper

And she really should get to sleep

Now don't keep the sandman waiting

It's more than just because

We should all be snoring

Let the sand start pouring

And we'll all dream of white winged doves

Don't keep the sandman waiting

Don't keep the sandman waiting
