Crystal stemware
Mr. Sandman
Give him the word that I'm not all over
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Give him tulips like Russell Stover
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Give him two lips like Pavarotti
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
Give him two lips like Rosenman Cober
Give him two lips like roses and clover.
Huckleberry, cherry pie
Huckleberry, chimry, or lime
Make a sandwich, bring me a drink
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the Q-Tips that I've ever seen.
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen.
