New Deal For Christmas Lyrics - Annie

[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 

This year
