[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
