In Tall Buildings

Someday, baby, when I am a man

And other's have taught me

The best that they can

They'll sell me a suit

And cut off my hair

And send me to work in tall buildings

And it's goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the dew

Goodbye to the flowers

And goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I must not be late

Going to work in tall buildings

Now when I retire

And my life is my own

I made all the payments

It's time to go home

And wonder what happened

Betwixt and between

When I went to work in tall buildings

And it's goodbye to the sunshine

Goodbye to the dew

Goodbye to the flowers

And goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I mustn't be late

Going to work in tall buildings
