Ronnie Lane - Brother Can You Spare a Dime lyrics

Gomey-Harburg Once I built a railroad, made it run, I 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, brick and rivet and lime Oh, once I built a tower, now it's done, buddy, can you spare a dime ? Once in khaki suits, boy I looked swell, full of that Yankee Doodly Dum Half a million boots they 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 ? Ooh, say don't you remember that it was Al all the time Say don't you remember, I'm your pal, Buddy, can you spare a dime ?
