It's that time of evening when little boys and girls are getting ready for bed. They have put
on there favorite p.j.'s and their mommies and daddies have tucked them in their covers
and kissed them goodnight.

As their eyes close in sleep, they hear the Sandman's song coming to take to take them on
many wonderful adventures on the �Sandman's train to Dreamland.�

~Come with me on the train as I drive across to Dreamland Plain. I hope you will stay
awhile crossing �Dreamland Plain.� ~I hope you'll stay awhile, so I can see you smile.~

Every evening the Sandman has to get ready. He puts on his starlight and moonbeam hat,
and his cotton candy slippers. He leaves his gingerbread house and makes sure his train is
ready. He sings and hums with a big smile on his face. He loves children and can't wait to
pick them up after they go to sleep, taking them to all the places they dream of going.

The first place Dreamland Train goes to is �Cookie Crossing.� Every cookie ever made is
there. Little elves pass out cups out so that the children can get milk....all the children have
to do is call for either a chocolate or a white cow and pull his tail. The milk then fills the
cup, but it never runs over!

When they leave �Cookie Crossing�' with their treasures, they pass through �Scoop
Mountain� where all the children can get scoops of ice cream in every flavor to go with
their cookies.

Next, they pass through �Fruit Tree Forest� to take some fruits for snacks to eat later.
Then they go back on the train to begin the real adventure!~

The first place on the Sandman's tour is a place called Pony Patch. There are lots of ponies
in every color a child could dream of. The children can ride the ponies, and talk to them.
(And guess what? They can jump over fences, or even float on clouds. They are very special
ponies indeed!)

Little girls love to go to �Doll House Village.� That's were every doll that was ever made
lives. They have their own houses and all their own clothes so they can dress up and go to
parties! Here little girls can do anything that big girls can do. They learn how to be good
mommies and take care of their baby dolls. They can also work doing exciting things like
being a model or doctor (or whatever they want to be)!

Little boys go to �Car Country.� There are all kinds of cars, trucks, planes and trains there
so they can drive all over town and see the sights. �Car Country� is a little boys dream!~
They also like �Building Block Corner� where they can build houses and other buildings,
and learn to be good daddies!

The next stop is in �Wish City� and is the most special place of all. Children love this place
because every wish they make in their dreams can come true! Everything that�s wished for
is possible. It is also were the Sandman lives and works. It is his job to see that wishes come
true.

But now it�s time for the children to go back home. They have had so much fun in their
dreams that the night has flown by. They have to be ready for the daytime, which is busy
and full.

The Sandman calls for all the children to get on the train which will take them back to their
mommies and daddies. Then the Sandman starts his train and will wish a smile and sing his
song away...

(Song): ~Come little children it's time to go.. I really hate to ask you to put away your toys
and begin your day, but when you awaken you have so many games to play! Don't cry
little children please dry your eyes and put those precious smiles back on your faces.. for
the Dreamland Train will be back every night to comfort you and make all your dreams
come true.. when you need me to hold you through the night!
