"In Tall Buildings" lyrics

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

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

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

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
