JOHNNY SPEAKS

THE sand-man he's a jolly old fellow,His face is kind and his voice is mellow,But he makes your eyelids as heavy as lead,And then you got to go off to bed;I don't think I like the sand-man.
But I've been playing this livelong day;It does make a fellow so tired to play!Oh, my, I'm a-yawning right here before ma,I'm the sleepiest fellow that ever you saw,I think I do like the sand-man.
