Dear Bob,
My suggestion is  the novelty 1927 tune, "I Wonder What I Look Like When I'm Asleep" by De Sylva, Brown & Henderson
The lyrics work, but the Russian variation of the tune does't quite fit.

"I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
I wonder how I look when I'm asleep.

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
How do I look when I'm through counting sheep.

Oh tell me, oh tell me  oh tell me
The secret if you tell me I will keep.

It's driving me to drink
And I haven't slept a wink
From wondering what I look like when I'm asleep".

However, my colleague Dick Baker is unconvinced.
Kind regards,
Bill.
