BTW; I always heard it was "Here comes a sandman to put you to bed; here
comes a swordsman to cut off your head."
Any idea where the variant version in 1984 comes from?

Standard English version, I've never heard yours...

Works better from a rhyming point of scheme though, doesn't it?

Ummm, "bed" and "head" in both cases? And "swordsman" instead of
"chopper" makes it scan clumsily to me.
