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 plow |
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 |
I 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 up 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 drum! |
Say don’t you remember? |
They called me Al. |
It was Al all the time. |
Why don’t you remember? |
I’m your pal. |
Say buddy, can you spare a dime? |
Once in khaki suits, |
Ah, 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 drum! |
Oh, say don’t you remember? |
They called me Al. |
It was Al all the time. |
Say, don’t you remember? |
I’m your pal. |
Buddy, can you spare a dime? |
