Listen while I sing you to sleep

With a rock 'n' roll lullaby

Close your eyes and don't you peep

This is a rock 'n' roll lullaby

Sandman's gonna get you



Snuggle down your sleepy head

It's gettin' late the Sandman said

Your dreams are waiting

It's daybreak in the land of nod

So get to sleep you little sod

Your dreams are waiting



And if you get a nightmare

Would you go and shake your Ma

Cause your Daddy's been a workin' all day

And if you go and get a glass of water by yourself

You can show us that you're older than you are

Show us that you're older



The Sandman's gonna get you



Well you're too small to understand

You're living in a wonderland

Your dreams are waitin'



If only we could be there too

And dream a dream along with you

Your dreams are waitin'



Careful that you don't get out the wrong side of the cot

Are you gonna be an angel or a devil

You're too small to reason what is right and what is wrong

Childhood dreams are gone too fast

There's no way we can make them last



We'll always love you anyway

Any way you are

Any way you are
