Bing Crosby Brother Can You Spare A Dime Lyrics

Brother Can You Spare A Dime Lyrics

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When
their was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always their 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 sloggin' 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
Say
buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked
swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin'
through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, 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?
