Eartha Kitt - Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? Lyrics
They used to tell me I was building a dreamAnd so I followed the mobWhen their was earth to plow or guns to bearI was always their right on the jobThey used to tell me I was building a dreamWith peace and glory aheadWhy should I be standing in lineJust waiting for bread?Once I built a railroad, I made it runMade it race against timeOnce I built a railroad, now it's doneBrother, can you spare a dime?Once I built a tower up to the sunBrick and rivet and limeOnce I built a tower, now it's doneBrother, can you spare a dime?Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swellFull of that Yankee-Doodly-dumHalf a million boots went sloggin' through HellAnd I was the kid with the drumSay, don't you remember, they called me "Al"It was "Al" all the timeWhy don't you remember, I'm your palSay buddy, can you spare a dime?Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swellFull of that Yankee-Doodly-dumHalf a million boots went sloggin' through HellAnd I was the kid with the drumOh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"It was "Al" all the timeSay, don't you remember, I'm your palBuddy, can you spare a dime?
