Lyrics Brother Can You Spare A Dime - Connie Francis

They used to tell us we were building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should we be standing in line
Just waiting for a piece of bread?
Once we built a railroad, made it run
Made it race against time
Once we built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once we built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivets and lime
Once, once we 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, they went sloggin' through Hell
He was a kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, you called me "May"
It was "May" all the time
Hey buddy, don't you remember, he was your pal
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Say, don't you remember, he was remarkable
Can't you spare just one dime
