“Brother Can You Spare a Dime” – Harburg & Gorney 1932 — George Michael 2000 (Fabulous version by GM – have a listen)

27 Mar

“Once I built a Railroad, 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 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
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
Brother can you spare a dime?

Fuck off Losers! It’s costing $30 Billion to kill all those evil nasty kids. You know if they were allowed to grow up, they wouldn’t give me any money. No! They’re bad, very bad! Trust me, I know what’s best for ME! sorry, no, slip of the tongue, best for America FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Love and peace John
