Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? lyrics

• 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
  Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

  Once in khaki suits, ah, 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

  Oh, 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?
