Intro
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, made it run,
Made it race against time;
Once I build a railroad -- now it's done.
Buddy, 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.
Buddy, 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?
