Brother, Can You Spare A Dime

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

Bricks, rivet and lime

Once I built a tower now it's done

Brother, can you spare a dime?



Once in cocky suits

Gee, we looked swell

Full of that Yankee Doodle-dom

Half a million boots they went

Slogging through hell

And I, I was a kid with a 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

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
