Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

E. Y. Harburg, Jay Gorney

[Verse 1]
Once I built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare me a dime?

[Verse 2]
Once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and line
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

[Bridge]
Once in khaki suits, boy, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodle-dum
Then half a million boots went truckin’ off to Hell
I was the kid with the drum

[Verse 3]
Oh say, don't you remember? You called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

[Guitar Solo]

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

[Outro]
Oh, buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Yeah, buddy, can you spare me a dime?
