paroles de chanson Brother Can You Spare a Dime? - Al Jolson

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 mortar 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 marching through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al', 'Al' all the time
Say don't you remember? I'm your pal
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
And I Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Hey brother, ain't got a dime about you have you?
And once I built a tower, yes a tower to the sun
Of brick, mortar, and lime
Yes I'm the fella who built a tower
And now it's done
Hey buddy, ain't got a dime about you have you?
Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went marching through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al', 'Al' all the time
Don't you remember? I'm your pal
Brother, can you spare a dime?
