Someday, baby, when I am a man
And other's have taught me the best that they can
Sell me a suit and cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings
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
Someday, my baby, when I am a grown
And other's have taught me the best that they can
Sell me a suit and cut off my hair
And send me to work in tall buildings
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
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
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
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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
