Lyrics 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?
