In Tall Buildings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Someday, my baby, when I am 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] So 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 I'm going to work in tall buildings [Verse 2] Now, when I 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 [Chorus] So 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 I'm going to work in tall buildings So 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 I'm going to work in tall buildings
