Once I built a railroad, I made it run
|
I made it run against time
|
Once I built a railroad, and now it's done
|
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
|
|
Once I built a tower way up to the sun
|
Of bricks and morter and lime
|
Once I built a tower, and now it's done
|
Buddy can you spare a dime?
|
|
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
|
Full of that Yankee-Doodlee-Dum
|
A half-a-million boots went sloggin' through hell
|
And I was the kid with the drum
|
|
Say don't you remember, you called me Al
|
It was Al all the time
|
Say don't you remember, I was your pal
|
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
|
|
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
|
I made it run against time
|
Once I built a railroad, and now it's done
|
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

BROTHER, (BUDDY) CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?
