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?
