Here's the Jap-a-nese Sand-man
Sneak-ing on with the dew
just an old sec-ond hand man
He'll buy your old day from you
he will take ev-'ry sor-row
of the day that is through
and he'll give you to-mor-row
just to start life a-new
then you'll be a bit old-er
in the dawn when you wake
and you'll be a bit bold-er
with the new day you make
here's the Jap-a-nese Sand-man
trade him sil-ver for gold
just an old sec-ond hand man
trad-ing new days for old.
