Lyrics for Song: Brother Can You Spare A Dime
Lyrics for Album: Songs From The Last Century



Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad, now itÂ’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 itÂ’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 donÂ’t you remember, they called me al
It was al all the time
Say donÂ’t you remember, IÂ’m your pal!
Buddy can you spare a dime?

Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad, now itÂ’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 itÂ’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 donÂ’t you remember, they called me al
It was al all the time
Say donÂ’t you remember, IÂ’m your pal!
Buddy can you spare a dime?


Brother Can You Spare A Dime

George Michael's rendition of 'Brother Can You Spare A Dime' appears on the 1998 compilation album 'Songs From The Last Century.'

The track showcases his ability to reinterpret well-known material within the context of his evolving discography, blending nostalgia with his signature vocal style. Released as part of a collection of his greatest hits, the recording stands as a testament to the song's timeless quality and Michael's commitment to preserving musical heritage while maintaining his artistic identity.
