Brother can you spare a dime, Tom Waits.

Welcome to the global economic crisis!

This is an reminder of an old song, originally written in 1931 by lyricist E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and composer Jay Gorney.

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 run 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 railroad, 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 Hell,
And 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 was your pal! Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I was your pal!! Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
