Once I built a railroad made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad 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 de dum
Half a million boots
went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don't you remember
they called me al
It was al all the time
Say don't you remember
I'm your pal
Brother can you spare a dime
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
Half a million boots
went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don't you remember
they called me al
It was al all the time
Say don't you remember
I'm your pal
Brother can you spare a dime
Buddy can you spare a dime
