๐ Lyrics
This is a tune of John's that I've loved for years
It's, it's pretty sad
There's probably a fair number of people that quit their jobs
Because of this song
This is "In tall buildings"
Someday, baby, when I am a man
And others have taught me the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit, they'll cut off my hair
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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
Now when I'm retired 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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
It's, it's pretty sad
There's probably a fair number of people that quit their jobs
Because of this song
This is "In tall buildings"
Someday, baby, when I am a man
And others have taught me the best that they can
They'll sell me a suit, they'll cut off my hair
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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
Now when I'm retired 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
I'm going to work in tall buildings
