George Michael - Brother Can You Spare A Dime
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime,"
lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931)
- They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
- When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
- They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
- Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
- Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
- Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
- Once I built a tower, up 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 Doodly Dum,
- Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
- And I was the kid with the drum!
- Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
- Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
- Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
- Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
- Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
- And 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? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
