Someday baby, when I am a man,
and others have taught me
the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit
cut off my hair
and send me to work in tall buildings
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I must not be late
Im going to work in tall buildings
(Instrumental - 8 Bars)
Now when Im retired
And my life is my own
I made all the payments
It's time to go home
and wonder what happened
betwixt and between
when I went to work in tall buildings
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway
I mustn't be late
Going to work in tall buildings
(Instrumental - 16 Bars)
