Buddy

lyrics

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 sky
Steal and concrete and lime
Once I built 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 dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the one with the drum
Say can't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say can't you remember, I'm your pal!
Buddy can you spare a dime?

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 built 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 dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the one with the drum
Say can't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say can't you remember, I'm your pal!
Buddy can you spare a dime?
