Al Jolson sings "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"








Once I built a railroad, made it runMade it race against timeOnce I built a rairoad, now it's doneBrother can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower to the sun
 Brick and rivet and limeOnce I built a tower, now it's doneBrother can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits 
Gee, we looked swellFull of that yankee Doodle De DumHalf a million boots went slogging through hellI was the kid with the drum
 
Say don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the timeSay don't you remember, I'm your palBrother can you spare a dime?
 
Once in khaki suitsGee, we looked swellFull of that yankee Doodle De DumHalf a million boots went slogging through hellI was the kid with the drum
 
Say don't you remember, they called me AlIt was Al all the timeSay don't you remember, I'm your palBrother can you spare a dime?Buddy can you spare a dime?
 
 
[lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney]
