The sandman comes to our house at night
and fills Wynkin and Blykin before daylight
when Nod wakes up to his surprise
he has sand in both of his eyes
He has fished all night in a sea of stars
caught lolly pops, and candy bars
he was running around and flying a kite
the old moon laughed, when he saw this sight
The sandman leaves not making a noise
then he travels on to other girls and boys
the old moon goes back into the sky
Woodson wakes up with a great big sigh
There was no lolly pops or candy bars
while he was fishing among the stars
the old moon wasn't laughing or singing a riddle
but the Sandman was dancing and playing his fiddle
