New Deal For Christmas



Warbucks:
I know the Depression's depressing

Grace:
The carols are stilled
The stored aren't filled

Warbucks:
And the windows are minus the dressing

Grace:
The children don't grin
The Santa's are thin

Grace and Warbucks:
And I've heard a terrible rumour
No goodwill no cheer

Warbucks:
But we'll get a new deal for Christmas
This year

Annie and Orphans:
The snowflakes are frighting 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 deal for Christmas
This year.

Servants:
Bong, bong, bong, bong
Bong, bong, bong, bong

Roosevelt:
On Farley and Perkins
On Ikes and Wallace
On Monganthau 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 it's 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
This year!
