Brother Can You Spare A Dime

BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?
Written by J.Gorney / E.Y. Harburg
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
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime?
[01:18.26]Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
[01:26.05]Full of that yankee Doodle De Dum.
[01:33.85]Half a million boots went slogging through hell,
[01:41.36]And I was the kid with the drum
[01:48.69]Say, don't you remember they called me Al,
[01:57.11]It was Al all the time.
[02:03.93]Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
[02:11.67]Brother, can you spare a dime?
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
