| 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 slogging through | |
| HellAnd 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 slogging through | |
| HellAnd 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 | |
