New Deal For Christmas
[WARBUCKS]
I know the Depression's depressing
[GRACE]
The carols are stilled
The stores aren't filled
[WARBUCKS]
And the windows are minus their dressing
[GRACE]
The children don't grin
The Santas are thin
[GRACE AND WARBUCKS]
And I've heard a terrible rumor
No goodwill no cheer
[WARBUCKS]
But we'll get a New Deal for Christmas
This year
[ANNIE AND ORPHANS]
The snowflakes are frightened of falling
[MOLLY]
And oh, what a fix
No peppermint sticks!
[WARBUCKS]
And all through the land folks are bawling
[GRACE]
And filled with despair
'Cause cupboards are bare
[WARBUCKS]
But Santa's got brand new assistants
There's nothing to fear
They're bringing a New Deal for Christmas
This year.
[SERVANTS]
Bong, bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, bong, bong
[ROOSEVELT]
On Farley and Perkins
On Ikes and Wallace
On Morgenthau and Cummings
[ALL]
Fill our pockets with dollars
[ROOSEVELT]
On Roper and Swanson
[ROOSEVELT AND WARBUCKS]
Get along Cordell Hull
[ORPHANS]
Get along, giddy up!
[MEN]
Call your committee up
[WOMEN]
Build every city up
[ALL]
Cheer every kiddy up
Fill every stocking with laughter
We haven't got room for any more gloom
Let's ring every bell from its rafter
[WARBUCKS]
And chime cross the land
[ANNIE]
Tomorrow's at hand
[WARBUCKS]
[spoken] Those happy days that we were promised
[ROOSEVELT]
Are finally here
[ALL]
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
We're getting a new deal for Christmas
(Christmas) - NOTE ONLY FOR THE HARMONY LINE
