[00:21.862]They used to tell me I was building a dream
[00:27.919]And so I followed the mob
[00:33.572]When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
[00:38.064]I was always there right on the job
[00:46.008]They used to tell me I was building a dream
[00:51.831]With peace and glory ahead
[00:56.326]Why should I be standing in line
[01:02.967]Just waiting for bread ?
[01:10.895]Once I built a railroad, I made it run
[01:16.163]Made it race against time
[01:21.360]Once I built a railroad, now it's done
[01:26.312]Brother, can you spare a dime?
[01:31.375]Once I built a tower up to the sun
[01:36.592]Brick and rivet and lime
[01:42.279]Once I built a tower, now it's done
[01:47.752]Brother, can you spare a dime?
[01:52.163]Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
[01:57.136]Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
[02:02.232]Half a million boots went slogging through hell
[02:07.374]And I was the kid with the drum
[02:12.617]Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
[02:18.258]It was "Al" all the time
[02:22.991]Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
[02:28.806]Buddy can you spare a dime?
[03:15.935]Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
[03:20.583]Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
[03:26.047]Half a million boots went slogging through hell
[03:30.886]And I was the kid with the drum
[03:36.282]Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
[03:41.536]It was "Al" all the time
[03:46.562]Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
[03:59.836]Buddy can you spare a dime?
