Someday, baby, when I am a man,
G D
and other's have taught me

the best that they can

they'll sell me a suit

and cut off my hair
G D
and send me to work in tall buildings
G D
and it's goodbye to the sunshine
G D
goodbye to the dew
D A
goodbye to the flowers
D G
and goodbye to you

I'm off to the subway

I must not be late
D
going to work in tall buildings
G D
now when I retire
G D
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
