When the Sandman comes
With sweet dreams in his sack,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
What treasures he takes
One by one from his pack,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
There are dreams of the forest
And dreams of the sea,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
Where sea urchins wait
To go swimming with thee,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!

Dreams of deep-sea caves
Where the waves softly splash,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
Where silver and gold fish
Pass by like a flash,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
There are grottoes of pearl
All a-glimmer and glow,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
And mermaids to sing thee
A lullaby low,
A lullaby-lu for a dream, O!
