[00:13.44]They used to tell me I was building a dream
[00:17.98]And so I followed the mob
[00:22.59]When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
[00:27.61]I was always there, right on the job
[00:34.23]They used to tell me I was building a dream
[00:38.04]With peace and glory ahead
[00:43.35]Why should I be standing in line
[00:48.18]Just waiting for bread
[00:55.55]Once I built a railroad, I made it run
[01:01.12]Made it race against time
[01:05.81]Once I built a railroad, now it's done
[01:12.13]Brother, can you spare a dime
[01:17.50]Once I built a tower up to the sun
[01:23.56]Brick and rivet and lime
[01:27.59]Once I built a tower, now it's done
[01:33.82]Brother, can you spare a dime
[01:39.14]Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
[01:44.94]Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
[01:49.01]Half a million boots went slogging through hell
[01:54.90]And I was the kid with the drum
[02:00.62]Say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
[02:06.54]It was 'Al' all the time
[02:10.48]Why don't you remember? I'm your pal
[02:17.10]Say buddy, can you spare a dime
[02:25.53]Once in khaki suits, ah gee, we looked swell
[02:31.25]Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
[02:35.24]Half a million boots went slogging through hell
[02:40.81]And I was the kid with the drum
[02:45.80]Oh say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
[02:51.71]It was 'Al' all the time
[02:55.73]Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
[03:02.44]Buddy, can you spare a dime
