The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman HQ

«Mr. Sandman» (sometimes rendered as «Mister Sandman») is a popular song written by Pat Ballard which was published in 1954 and first recorded in May of that year by Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra and later that same year by The Chordettes. The song's lyrics convey a request to «Mr. Sandman» to «bring me a dream» – the traditional association with the folkloric figure, the sandman.
