"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931)
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 ? Buddy, 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.Say, don’t you remember, I’m your pal ? Buddy, can you spare a dime ?
