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
