Brother Can You Spare A Dime — текст песни (Bing Crosby)

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 rivet 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 sloggin` through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Say, don`t you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Why don`t you remember, I`m your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin` through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don`t you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say, don`t you remember, I`m your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
