In Tall Buildings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Someday, my baby, when I'm a man And others 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 [Chorus] And it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew Goodbye to flowers, and goodbye to you I'm off to the subway, I must not be late Going to work in tall buildings [Verse 2] Now when I retire, 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 [Chorus] And it's goodbye to the sunshine, goodbye to the dew Goodbye to flowers, and goodbye to you I'm off to the subway, I must not be late I'm going to work in tall buildings Going to work in tall buildings
