Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? lyrics
by Sting
Once I built a railroad made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once I built the tower to the Sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower now it’s done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don’t you remember they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don’t you remember I’m your pal
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once I built a railroad made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a rairoad now it’s done
Brother 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
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits
Gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodle de dum
Half a million boots went slogging through hell
I was the kid with the drum
Say don’t you remember they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say don’t you remember I’m your pal
Brother can you spare a dime?
Buddy can you spare a dime?
