Song by Jim Dale<br /><br>

Chairy:<br>

The Lord gave each and everyone<br>

The spunk to do what can't be done<br>

The brawn, the brain, the courage and the heart<br>

The strength to bend the strongest bar<br>

The will to reach the farthest star<br>

It's just a case of learning how to start.<br>

To build a tower up so high to a cloud you'll anchor<br>

Build it one tiny brick at a time<br>

Bucks multiply till a bum's a banker<br>

Just begin with a thin silver dime<br>

That empty feild it can yeild miles and miles of flowers<br>

You don't need no magic powers <br>

Just a seed and showers<br>

From the floor to the sky <br>

You can soar if you're wise enough to climb<br>

One brick at a time<br>

<br>

Men: <br>

To build a ship that's built to last<br>

<br>

Chairy:<br>

You lay the keel than raise the mast<br>

<br>

Men:<br>

And ode begins with just a simple rhyme, <br>

an oak with roots a mile beneath<br>

<br>

Chairy:<br>

Becomes a stick to pick your teeth<br>

<br>

Men:<br>

Just sharpen up your knide and take your time.<br>

<br>

Chairy & chorus:<br>

One stalwart chap with a cup and bunch of hours he can scoop all the salt from the sea<br>

Buds open up turning boughs to bowers <br>

all begun by just one bumble bee.<br>

To write with ease symphonies <br>

or at least condati <br>

filled with trills and obblifatti <br>

start with fa sol la ti<br>

leave the rest in the dust<br>

be the best<br>

if you're just content to climb,<br>

one brick at a time.<br>

<br>

Chairy:<br>

Just take a brick and place it on the ground<br>

to make it stick pour mortar all around<br>

<br>

Chairy & One girl:<br>

A cup of lime then stir it all it's hard<br>

and up she'll climb by inch by foot by yard<br>

<br>

Chairy & Girls:<br>

a still, a door, a ledge, a window pane<br>

then drill some more raise up a weather vane<br>

a roof the proof that go'in slow like this<br>

<br>

Chairy:<br>

A splendid edifice can climb<br>

<br>

Chairy & Girls:<br>

To build a tower up so high to a cloud you'll anchor<br>

Build it one tiny brick at a time<br>

Bucks multiply till a bum's a banker<br>

Just begin with a thin silver dime<br>

That empty feild it can yeild miles and miles of flowers<br>

You don't need no magic powers <br>

Just a seed and showers<br>

From the floor to the sky <br>

You can soar if you're wise enough to climb<br>

<br>

Men:<br>

Just take a brick and place it on the ground<br>

to make it stick pour mortar all around<br>

A cup of lime then stir it all it's hard<br>

and up she'll climb by inch by foot by yard<br>

a still, a door, a ledge, a window pane<br>

then drill some more raise up a weather vane<br>

a roof the proof that go'in slow like this<br>

<br>

All:<br>

A splendid edifice can climb<br>

one brick at a<br>

one brick at a time<br>

one single solitary brick<br>

one brick at a time<br>

one single solitary brick<br>

Ooooo ahhhhh<br>

ooooo ahhhhh<br>

oo oh whee oh<br>

ahhhh<br>

One brick at a time!<br>

<br>
