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...
