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.
