New Deal For Christmas Lyrics

[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][ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/new-deal-for-christmas-lyrics-annie.html ] 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 This year
