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 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 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 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 mustn't be late Going to work in tall buildings
