Charlie Palloy And His Orchestra Brother Can You Spare A Dime? Lyrics

Brother Can You Spare A Dime? Lyrics

Once I built a railroad, 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 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-doodle-dum, 

Half a million boots 

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. 

Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal! 

Brother, can you
spare a dime?
