Annie - We'd Like To Thank You lyrics

ALL Today we're living in ashanti Today we're scrounging for a meal SOPHIE Today I'm stealing coal for fires Who knew i could steal? MEN I used to winter in the tropics WOMEN I spent my summers at the shore FRED I used to throw away the paper-- ALL He don't anymore! We'd like to thank you: Herber Hoover For really showing us the way We'd like to thank you: Herbert Hoover You made us what we are today Prosperity was 'round the corner A cozy cottage built for two In this blue heaven That you Gave us Yes! We're turning blue! They offered us Al Smith and Hoover We paid attention and we chose Not only did we pay attention We paid through the nose. In ev'ry pot he said "a chicken" But Herbert Hoover he forgot Not only don't we have the chicken We ain't got the pot! Hey Herbie WOMEN You left behind a greatful nation ALL So, Herb, our hats are off to you We're up to here with admiration SOPHIE Come down and have a little stew ALL Come down and share some Christmas dinner Be sure to bring the missus too We got no turkey for our stuffing So why don't we stuff you We'd like to thank you, Herbert Hoover For really showing us the way You dirty rat, you Bureaucrat, you Made us what we are today Come and get it, Herb!
