Chorus
Here’s the Japanese Sandman
Sneaking on with the dew
Just an old second hand man
He’ll buy your old day from you
He will take every sorrow
Of the day that is through
And he’ll give you tomorrow
Just to start a life anew
Then you’ll be a bit older
In the dawn when you wake
And you’ll be a bit bolder
With the new day you make
Here’s the Japanese Sandman
Trade him silver for gold
Just an old second hand man
Trading new days for old
