[Chorus]
Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
To sprinkle you with sand
He'll say, "One, two, three"
And you will be
In cotton candy land

Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
He'll take you by the hand
And you'll ride upon
A big white swan
In cotton candy land

[Verse 1]
You and the swan will float upon
A cloud of pink ice cream
Where every star is a candy bar
And the moon is a marshmallow dream

[Outro]
Sandman's comin', yes, he's comin'
Take his magic hand
And now, goodnight... and now sleep tight
In cotton candy land
In cotton candy land

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
