Once I build a railroad, made [bad word] 
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad, now it's done.
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower to the sun,
Brick and rivet and line.
Once I built a tower, now it's done.
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits - gee, we looked swell!
Full of that Yankeedoodleedum!
Half a million boots went slogging through [bad word] 
And I was the kid with the [bad word] #33;
Say, don't you remember, you called me Al?
It was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal!
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
