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.....
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..... Explain Request ×
