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? |
