Charles Strouse - New Deal for Christmas lyrics

[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 a**istants 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
