In Tall Buildings

Sometime my baby when I am a man

And others have taught me the best that they can

They'll sell me a suit

Cut off my hair

And send me to work in tall buildings

And it's goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the dew

Goodbye to the flowers

And goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I must not be late

Going to work in tall buildings

When I'm retired and my life is my own

I made all my payments, it's time to go home

And wonder what happened betwixt and between

When I went to work in tall buildings

And it's goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the dew

Goodbye to the flowers

And goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I must not be late

Going to work in tall buildings

Goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the dew

Goodbye to the flowers

And goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I must not be late

Going to work in tall buildings
