Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? |
| They used to tell me I was building a dream |
| And so I followed the mob |
| When there was earth to plough or guns to bear |
| I was always there, right on the job |
| They used to tell me I was building a dream |
| With peace and glory ahead |
| Why should I be standing in line |
| Just waiting for bread |
| Once I built a railroad made it run |
| Made it race against time |
| Once I built a railroad, now it’s done |
| Brother can you spare a dime |
| Once I built a tower to the sun |
| Brick and rivet and lime |
| Once I built a tower, now it’s done |
| Brother can you spare a dime |
| Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell |
| Full of that yankee doodle-dee dum |
| Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell |
| And I was the kid with the gun |
| Say you don’t remember, they called me Al |
| It was Al all the time |
| Say you don’t remember, I’m your pal |
| Buddy can you spare a dime |
