In Tall Buildings
[Verse 1]
Someday, my baby, when I'm a man
And others have taught me the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit and cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to flowers, and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I must not be late
Going to work in tall buildings
[Verse 2]
Now when I retire, my life is my own
I made all the payments, it's time to go home
And wonder what happened, betwixt and between
When I went to work in tall buildings
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew
Goodbye to flowers, and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I must not be late
I'm going to work in tall buildings
Going to work in tall buildings
