I was the kid with the drum. 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?. once I built a railroad made it run. made it race against time. once I built a rairoad now it's done. brother can you spare a dime?. once I built a tower 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 Doodle De Dum. half a million boots went slogging through hell.
