Sandy: 12/9 - That's Mr. Sandman to you!

Meet Sandy.






Now, with a name like Sandy, you'd probably expect... I dunno...  this...
or maybe

but since HE is neither, and decidedly NOT a girl greyhound, I like to call him Mr Sandman.  Now, to help you remember, I have written a completely original, not-inspired-by-any-other-song-trust-me jingle.  It's a catchy tune.  And completely unlike anything you might have heard before.  In 1958.  by The Chordettes.  At all.




Mr. Sandman,  he's such a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
He's the cutest foster that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him a bed so he can roll over (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his fostered nights are over
Mr. Sandman, he needs a home (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Don't have nobody to call his own (bung, bung, bung, bung)
your eyes are like a magic beam
Mr. Sandman, you're such a dream

Mr. Sandman, he's such a dreamHe is the cutest foster that I've ever seen
Give him the word that you're lookin' him over
Then tell him that his fostered nights are over
Mr. Sandman, he needs a home
Don't have a family to call his own
your eyes are like a magic beam
Mr. Sandman, you're such a dream

Mr. Sandman (yes) you're such a dream
He's got a pair of eyes with a "cute puppy" gleam
He's got a big heart just like a greyhound
and you can take him all over town
Mr Sandman, somewhere to live  (somewhere to live)
Would be so peachy for you to give
his eyes are like a magic beam
Mr Sandman, you're such, yes, yes, yes,
Mr Sandman, you're such a dream
