Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest boy that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses in clover
Then tell me that my lonesome nights are over
Mister Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have a boyfriend to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Please make him gargle, and brush with Gleem
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci,
But not as closeted as Liberace!
Mister Sandman, bring me a "he"
Give him a basket... of flowers for me
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us
Please please bring us
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream (a dream)
A dream (a dream)
Mister Sandman, (Yes) I need a man (What kind of man?)
No one psychotic or Republican (I'll do what I can)
Give him two legs, like Greg Lougainis
But make him public about his gayness!
Mister Sandman (Sandman), won't you believe
We want a Superman like Christopher Reeve
Some one who will make us scream (Ahhhh!)
Mister Sandman, bring us
Please please bring us
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream (a dream)
Mister Sandman, bring us a....
A dream
"Are there any self-identified straight people out here? Come out,
come out, don't be frightened. Oooh, very good. We've had endless
discussions about how to create a really supportive environment for
those among us who are homosexually challenged. Isn't it amazing,
though, how they blend in with everybody else? I think it's
great
