In Tall Buildings

Someday, my baby, when I am a man And others have taught me the best that they can They'll sell me a suit, then cut off my hair And send me to work in tall buildings So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew And goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I'm off to the subway, I must not be late I'm going to work in tall buildings And when I'm retired, my life is my own I made all my payments, it's time to go home And wonder what happened betwixt and between When I went to work in tall buildings So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew And goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I'm off to the subway, I must not be late I'm going to work in tall buildings So it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew And goodbye to the flowers and goodbye to you I'm off to the subway, I must not be late I'm going to work in tall buildings
