Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The moon got a nickel grin
Over alley cats and gin
My shoes tap out your name
In the rain-streaked windowpane
I left my watch unwound
Left my worries on the ground
If you got a sleepy art
Then pull the shade apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Sandman
Come around
Slip that velvet
On this town
[Chorus]
Mr. Sandman, hold me tight
Keep my trouble out of sight
Mr. Sandman, take my hand
Lead me where the dawn won't land
(oh, Mr. Sandman)
(oh, Mr. Sandman)
[Verse 2]
The band plays soft and sly
While the flapper passes by
Her laugh like silver dimes
Spun through all the crowded times
My heart wears patent shoes
But it still has miles to lose
So if you hear me call
Catch me when I start to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Sandman
Hear me now
Lay that hush down
On the crowd
[Chorus]
Mr. Sandman, hold me tight
Keep my trouble out of sight
Mr. Sandman, take my hand
Lead me where the dawn won't land
(oh, Mr. Sandman)
(oh, Mr. Sandman)
[Bridge]
Let the trumpet tilt and sway
Let the shadows pass away
If the world can wait till noon
I can borrow one more tune
[Final Chorus]
Mr. Sandman, hold me tight
Keep my trouble out of sight
Mr. Sandman, take my hand
Lead me where the dawn won't land
Mr. Sandman, send me through
To a room with velvet blue
Mr. Sandman, close the door
Till the morning asks for more

1920s hot jazz swing with a jaunty two-step pulse, brushed snare, upright bass walk, cornet lead, clarinet filigree, and piano stride accents; verse rides tight and playful, pre-chorus strips to bass and brushed drums, chorus lands with gang vocal snaps and cornet replies; smoky male vocals with light vibrato, close harmony on the hook, short ad-lib echoes; shell shaker pickups, sax tag-ins, and a final horn rise; glossy vintage mix with warm room bounce
