The song's lyrics convey a request to “Mr. Sandman“ to “bring me a dream“ – the traditional association with the folkloric figure, the sandman. The pronoun used to refer to the desired dream is often changed depending on the sex of the singer or group performing the song. Some time later, Ballard also rewrote the lyrics for Christmas use as “Mr. Santa“. The chord progression in each chorus follows the circle of fifths for six chords in a row. Singer Dorothy Collins charted with “Mr. Santa“ (#51, US trade Music Vendor. 1955). The song was later recorded by Tony Sandler and Ralph Young (1968) and Suzy Bogguss.
