The Sandman Drinks His Coffee Without Cream Lyrics - Tom Scullin

Sometimes I can't 

Get out of bed 

Eyelids closed 

I can't raise my head 

Sleepy eyes won't waken 

From my dream 

So, I just lay 

Down on my side 

Until the day 

They open wide 

The Sandman drinks his coffee 

Without cream 

I said the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream 

The day's awake 

But I'm in bed 

Eyelids closed 

I can't raise my head 

Sunlight shining 

On my bedroom wall 

They're telling me 

I'm running late 

You better get a move on, Babe 

Or you're gonna be late 

But I survive 

This simple wake up call 

"CHORUS" 

And sing 

So lock the door 

Forget the light 

The day's no different 

Than the night 

When sleepy eyes 

Won't waken from their dream 

And the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream 

Someone's calling 

Out my name 

Too early in the morning, Babe 

To play that game 

Footsteps pounding 

Knocking at my door 

They're telling me 

I'm running late 

You better get a move on, Babe 

Or you're gonna be late 

But I survive 

Another wake up call 

"CHORUS" 

And sing 

So lock the door 

Forget the light 

The day's no different 

Than the night 

When sleepy eyes 

Won't waken from their dream 

And the Sandman drinks his coffee without cream
