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
