Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?

by Ronnie Lane

Lyrics
Once I built a railroad, made it run
I made it race against time
Yeah, once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, could you spare me a dime?

Yeah, once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Ooh, once I built a tower, now it's done
Buddy, could you spare me a dime?

Once in khaki suits, boy we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
'Bout half a million boots, they wΠ΅nt truckin' all through hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don't you remΠ΅mber? You called me Al
Then it was Al all the time
Hey, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, could you spare me a dime?

Ooh, say, don't you remember?
Then it was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
