Buddy Can You Spare a Dime Songtext
von Ronnie Lane

Once I′ve built a railroad, made it run
I made it race against time
Yeah, once I've built a railroad, now it′s done
Brother, could you spare a dime

Yeah, once I built a tower to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Oh, once I built a tower, now it's done
Buddy, could you spare a dime?


Once in khaki suits, boy, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
'Bout half a million boots, they were trucking all through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Say, don′t you remember, you called me "Al"
Then it was "Al" all the time
Hey, don′t you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, could you spare me a dime

Ooh, say, don′t you remember
Then it was "Al" all the time
Say, don't you remember, I′m your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime
