In Tall Buildings

[Verse]
                      
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

[Chorus]
                         
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

[Verse]
             
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

[Chorus]
                         
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
