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

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 Doodle De 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

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,

But I I was the kid with the drum

I Say, don't you remember I'm your pal

You know

Everybady come here other time

Say, don't you remember,

I'm your pal

So Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Brother can you spare a dime?
