Ehi fratello, hai una moneta da darmi?

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 there 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

I made it run against time

Once I built a railroad and now it's done

Buddy can you spare a dime?

Once I built a tower way up to the sun

With bricks and mortar and lime

Once I built a railroad and 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 slogging through hell

I was the kid with the drum

Oh say, don't you remember?

You called me Al

It was Al all the time

Say, don't you remember? I was your pal

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Say, don't you remember?

You called me Al

It was Al all the time

Say, don't you remember? I was your pal

Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
