Jane Edwards lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931) bass - Once I built a railroad, I made it run, ten - Made it race against time. alt - Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? bass - Once I built a tower, ten - up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime; alt - Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? bass - Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, sop - Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, And I was the kid with the drum! all - Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? sop - Buddy, can you spare a dime? |
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics
by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931) 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 Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging 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? Buddy, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging 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. Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime? |
