Here′s a Japanese sandman
Sneaking on with a do
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 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 a Japanese sandman
Trading silver for gold
Just an old second-hand man
Trading new days for old
Won′t you stretch imagination
For the moment and come with me?
Let us hasten to a nation
Lying over the western sea
Hide behind the cherry blossoms
Here's a sight that will please your eyes
There′s a baby with a lady of Japan
Singing lullabies
Here's a Japanese sandman
Sneaking on with a do
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 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 a Japanese sandman
Trading silver for gold
Just an old second-hand man
Trading new days for old
