Once  I built a railroad, made  it run,
Made  it race  against time;
Once  I build 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;
Once  I build a tower  -- now  it's done.
Brother,  can you spare  a dime?
Once,  in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell,
 Full of that Yankee Doodle de-dum;
 Half  a million boots went sloggin' through Hell --
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?
