Brother (Buddy) Can You Spare a Dime

Once I built a railroad, I made it run

I made it run against time

Once I built a railroad, and now it's done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower way up to the sun

Of bricks and mortar, and lime

Once I built a tower, and now it's done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits

Gee, we look swell

Full of that Yankee doodle-de-dum

A half a million boots went slogging through Hell

And I was the kid with the drum

Say, don't you remember you called me l?

It was l all the time

Say, don't you remember I was your pal?

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run

I made it run against time

Once I built a railroad, and now it's done

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
