"brother, can you spare a dime," lyrics by yip harburg, music by jay gorney (1932)
1. 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?
2. 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?
3. 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!
4. 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?
5. 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!
6. 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?
