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
