Hip to Be Sandman Lyrics by Bill McClintock

2021

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
’Til the Sandman, he comes
[Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: James Hetfield]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus: James Hetfield]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah-hah
[Guitar Solos]
[Interlude: James Hetfield and The News]
Hip to be square
Take my hand
Boom!
We're off to never-never land
[Bridge]
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Heh-heh
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Oh, oh
[Outro: Huey Lewis & the News and (James Hetfield)]
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip, so hip to be square
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip (We're off to never-never land)
Here, there, and everywhere (Yeah, yeah)
Hip, hip, so hip to be square (Boom)
Here, there, and everywhere (Take my hand)
Hip, hip
Here, there, and everywhere (Oh, oh)
Hip, hip, so hip to be square (Boom)
Here, there, and everywhere (Take my hand)
Hip, hip... (We’re off to never-neverland)
Here, there, and everywhere...
